I grew up with my little brother, Riley, who was diagnosed with Autism at a young age. Growing up with my brother showed me how lacking our province is in programming and resources which my brother could have greatly benefited from.

In 2015 I took the Community Disability Supports program for one year. I wanted learn more about ways to help people like my brother improve their quality of life. I always thought places like the Youth Club were a great and safe place for people to come, socialize with each other and express themselves.
