I’m the Director of Community Initiatives at REACH Edmonton Council for Safe Communities, where I help lead strategy and delivery across initiatives that strengthen community safety, inclusion, newcomer belonging, and youth well-being. My portfolio includes WrapED, Empire Fighting Chance, the Youth Gang Prevention Network, Youth Housing Upon Release, and school-based access initiatives such as the Out-of-School Time Collaborative.

​

Before joining REACH, I served as Director of Operations at the Africa Centre and co-founded the African Canadian Civic Engagement Council (ACCEC), where we helped launch the Timbuktu Innovation Hub. I hold a BA in Sociology with computer science coursework and was named Edify Edmonton’s Top 40 Under 40 (2024).

​

I’m passionate about building partnerships that turn good ideas into practical supports especially for young people and newcomers. What I love about working at REACH is collaborating across sectors and communities to create solutions that help people feel safe, connected, and able to thrive.
