These are my projects, past, current, and beyond.
I build projects rooted in community care, social justice, healing, and systems change. My work spans mental health, advocacy, education, outreach, research, and leadership across 2SLGBTQIA+, immigrant, refugee, and equity-seeking communities.
This space highlights the initiatives, collaborations, and ideas that have shaped my journey — from grassroots advocacy and community programming to counselling, training, and future visions still in progress.
