    Settlement Workers In-School (SWIS) Worker

    Having immigrated to Calgary from Kenya after living in the Kakuma refugee camp, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Human Ecology with a focus on Family Social Sciences from the University of Manitoba. My journey has been marked by a commitment to working with newcomers, immigrants, and vulnerable populations, aiming to combat poverty and enhance the well-being of individuals and communities. My experience includes roles with non-profit organizations such as Manitoba Women for Women and the Mustard Seed Calgary, where I served as a Community Outreach Advocate. Currently, I find fulfillment as a Settlement Worker In School at the Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth, engaging with and learning from youths and their families from diverse backgrounds. While supporting families in meeting their settlement needs, I also derive personal growth and learning from these interactions. The positive impact and influence of newcomer youths and their families have been instrumental in shaping my life.
