A diverse work and personal history have taught me to accept people where they are at. I understand that everyone is intertwined with their unique context and is doing the best they currently can.

 

We can only work within what we know and, as we expand our ways of knowing, we actively change our worlds. By engaging, genuinely and passionately with other people we create conditions that allow for growth that otherwise would not occur. Through past challenges I have learned the value of having a safe space to explore new ways of understanding, and I strive to help create that space for others.

 

Over the past decade I have primarily worked in engineering but I have also worked in sawmills, renovations contracting, mechanics, solar power, and park development. I’ve taught martial arts and self-defence, and have travelled to 30 different countries. I’ve lived the challenges of marriage and divorce, am a half-time single parent of two young children, and am constantly working to evolve.
