Profile Text
I am a career development and workforce development professional with over nine years of experience in program management, career advising, employment services, and professional development. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, a second Bachelor’s degree in Interactive Arts and Technology, and an MBA, bringing an interdisciplinary perspective that bridges science, technology, and business.
In my current role as a Career Advisor with YWCA BC’s Tech Connect program, I support newcomer women with technology backgrounds in navigating the Canadian labour market, developing effective job search strategies, strengthening their professional profiles, and accessing employment opportunities in the technology sector. My experience includes career coaching, workshop facilitation, employer engagement, mentorship initiatives, program development, and partnership building.
I am passionate about empowering individuals to recognize their strengths, overcome employment barriers, and build meaningful careers. I am particularly committed to supporting women, newcomers, and underrepresented groups in accessing equitable opportunities and advancing their professional goals.
I am seeking membership with Career Professionals of Canada to strengthen my professional knowledge, engage with the career development community, pursue continuous learning, and contribute to advancing ethical, inclusive, and effective career development practices.
