Who am I?

I’ve spent over 10 years working in People & Culture roles, navigating everything from messy team dynamics to deeply human moments in boardrooms and Slack threads.

These days, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Counselling Psychology at City University so I can support people in a deeper, more grounded way… beyond the org charts and engagement surveys.

My work and writing are currently rooted in the question:

What would a trauma-informed, relational workplace actually look like?

I’m particularly interested in how perfectionism, parentification, stress, burnout, and psychological safety intersect and ripple through our careers and cultures. I come at this work from a relational and intersectional lens. Which to me, means holding complexity, centering compassion, and staying curious about the stories beneath the surface.

I’m lucky enough to live, work, and walk daily with my dog on the traditional, ancestral, and stolen lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. I am committed to reflecting on the Western models of individualism that show up in my work, and practice shifting toward more collective and relational approaches to honour Indigenous ways of knowing and healing. I write here in humility and openness.

I am obsessed with my 11-year-old rescue dog, Dora. She has taught me endless lessons about the ability of both humans and animals to heal from trauma. She’s seen me at my lowest and still loves me unconditionally. Her only fault is that she won’t live forever.

I love hiking year-round, but nothing beats a clear summer day in Garibaldi Park.

In the winter, I’m all about cozying up with a good book and a hot bowl of spicy garlic ramen, ideally at Kintaro in the West End.

I believe everyone deserves to be treated like a human being. I believe everyone deserves to laugh — a lot. I believe everyone deserves to have space held for them.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
