I am a natural leader and thrive in a collaborative and fast-paced environment. I am eager to bring my experience and expertise to the YMCA of Southwest Nova Scotia and work with a team that is dedicated to making a positive impact in the community.
Beyond my professional experience, I am also deeply committed to personal and professional development.
