I am a strong believer in supporting my community by sharing my time, knowledge and networks. I have been volunteering with Hacking Health Waterloo for almost 2 years now. This initiative facilitates partnerships and collaborative solution-finding between Waterloo Region's burgeoning tech community and our extensive medical and health community. Additionally, I am involved in organizing the Belmont Village Bestival, an art and music festival being held in Kitchener on September 14 2019. If anyone is considering volunteering but can't commit to an ongoing project -there are many opportunities to get involved with this community initiative, either planning and organizing for the next couple of months or helping out on the day of!
