I believe community involvement is an important part of learning and developing leadership skills, team work, and confidence. Through out my life I have been involved in many ways. For example in high school I was involved in Hamilton City events and tourism information. Once I graduated high school I decided to go and volunteer for 7 months around Canada with the Katimavik Youth Program. Since university I have volunteered with the Canadian Diabetes Association, MacGregor Park Garden Project, and different events with Sunnybrook RBC First Office for Injury Prevention and most currently I am a board member for Defence for Children International.

Katimavik is a youth volunteer program with the mission to prepare youth to become responsible citizens who make positive change in their lives and communities. In addition we developed our leadership, communication, and language skills.
