Tell prospective students a bit about the work you do.
I am currently working in a registered charity which provides services to seniors, women and newcomers. My work as an Executive Director involves grant writing, resource development, financial and human resources management and making policy recommendations. I am involved with the integrated labour market planning committee of South Scarborough region managed by City of Toronto and also sit on various not-for-profits committees.
Tell prospective students a bit about how your studies at York helped you to get where you are today.
The MPPAL program has helped me to enhance my knowledge of public policy matters, and it simultaneously made me become aware of grass roots issues with regard to social justice matters. Having credentials from one of the most reputed universities was very helpful in securing the position I am in today.
