"I have lived in this neighborhood for almost a decade, and am fortunate to use Granville Island and the community center on an almost daily basis. I'm grateful to live so close to the seawall, and be part of this wonderful close-knit community. I work as both a Medical Secretary and a freelance illustrator/designer, and when I'm not working I'm busy bird watching, sewing and creating art. Joining the Board has given me an opportunity to make sure that our local center continues to flourish, and offer support and services to every member of our community. Everyone deserves to find a safe, inclusive space; kindness and support are integral to fostering a safe, thriving neighborhood."
