CAN Fund Design
What does being part of CAN Fund mean to you?
Being part of CAN Fund means contributing to something that has a real and meaningful impact on people’s lives. Being a part of a place that supports athletes and shares stories of perseverance is incredibly inspiring to me. I value being involved in work that uplifts others and celebrates the hero’s journey.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” – Maya Angelou
What is the best advice you have ever received?
The best advice I’ve received is to stay curious! Being open to learning and new experiences often leads you exactly where you’re meant to be. 🙂
Biggest lesson you have learned to get to where you are today?
I’ve learned that the only true failure is the decision to stop trying. This stems from watching those closest to me fight through the complexities of living with a disability. Watching them not just cope, but truly thrive, giving me a crash course in perseverance from a young age. It taught me that where there is a will and a support system, there is always a way forward.
What Does Canada mean to you- One Word: Mosaic
Ties into the vast cultures we have here (and coming from a blended family). Along with the nature of a mosaic needing to be overcome something quite intense, then creating something beautiful.
