Timeline

I'm currently completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Guelph, with the long-term goal of pursuing a master's degree and becoming a child psychologist or therapist. Supporting children and adolescents through life's stresses and challenges is something I'm deeply passionate about, and it strongly influences how I show up online, with empathy, honesty, and encouragement. In recent years, I have also worked with children of all ages and abilities, as an after-school program coordinator, a day camp instructor and an overnight camp counsellor. All of these experiences have shaped me into who I am today.

In 2021, I founded The Little Kindness Project, an organization created to support and advocate for children with dwarfism. I initially mentored young children with dwarfism, offering guidance, support, and a safe space to feel understood by someone who had lived similar experiences. Through this experience, I realized that while mentorship made a difference, the root of the issue often came from a lack of education, especially in school environments. Many instances of bullying stemmed from misunderstanding rather than maliciousness. That realization led me to shift my focus toward education in a fun, engaging, and approachable way. I created an educational PowerPoint presentation filled with photos and videos to teach youth across Ontario about dwarfism, encouraging curiosity, understanding, and kindness rather than judgment. The project has been an incredible success so far, and I'm excited to continue growing it and spreading a little kindness in our world. I have also been volunteering for my little people organizations in Ontario forever now, and bonding with the children, while meeting lots of new people, is the reason I keep going back. It brings a sense of community :)
