"I came to Canada when I was 12 and grew up in Toronto and Oshawa for the majority of my youth. I
went to Calgary for university in Christian studies as my passion is to
work for the church and for communities in need. I worked for Calgary's
largest homeless shelter for a year and that is where I found my
passion for those who are in need. I came to know Sky's the
Limit through Youth in Motion as I was one of the lucky ones to receive
a desktop from Sky's the Limit. I love the idea of helping people with a set goal and I am very fortunate to be a part of this great team." |
