Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I am a motivated and results oriented individual with experience in event coordination and accessibility. With a proven track record in both academia and community-focused organizations, I bring a passion for creating inclusive, accessible events where diverse voices and perspectives are valued. Currently, I serve as the Events and EDI Lead at the CIHR Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis at the UBC Faculty of Medicine. With a strong foundation in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and a Bachelor's in International Relations, I approach every project with global prospectives and a focus on building accessible spaces. Previously, I contributed to the Equity and Inclusion Office at UBC, where I spearheaded projects aimed at addressing systemic disparities and advancing policies on gender, race, and disability. My approach combines data-driven analysis with a on actionable change, ensuring that all partners are heard and engaged. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to fostering inclusive spaces where every participant feels respected and valued. Whether through managing complex events with hundreds of attendees, researching systemic barriers, or supporting grassroots initiatives, my goal is always the same: to drive data driven and impactful change. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy fencing, mountain biking, rock climbing, pilates, pottery and bird watching. I’m always looking to connect with others who share a passion for making the world a better place. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect and explore opportunities to collaborate!
