My role as the Service Coordinator in the Revive program feels like a full circle for me. I began my career in social services at Community Justice Initiatives coordinating volunteers. I left to pursue work as an outreach worker and have been supporting people in that capacity for the past 12 years.  I am pleased to be back working in Restorative Justice because the philosophy and principles fit with my own values: the importance of community, treating people with respect and that together we can make positive changes. The Revive program supports people impacted by sexual harm providing a safe place for people to heal and provides opportunities for people who have caused harm to understand the impact of harm and make positive changes My passion for my work in the Revive program developed through my experience as a Revive volunteer facilitating support groups over the past 10 years. As a volunteer I had the honor of being invited to sit with people and witness the healing and growth that happens with a restorative approach. The impact of that experience will continue to influence my work and I look forward to continuing my strong commitment to this program. When I am not at work I enjoy time with family and friends, creating yummy desserts and volunteering in the community.
