Community Engagement
-
I ran Dementia programs at Lakeland Arts, consisting of weekly 'In The Moment' art workshops and monthly 'Every First Tuesday' art gallery tours. I also built and fostered long-term relationships with community partners including Manna House and Space2Create. These programs and partnerships welcomed new audiences, built the public profile of Lakeland Arts and supported central funding applications.
-
Was awarded Excellence in Programs by the Ontario Museums Association for the planning & co-delivery of ‘Creative Connections: Art and Dementia’ in partnership with Indigenous Artist, Maker, and Educator Naomi Smith at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery.

I have completed an 'Intermediate Health and Wellbeing' course by GEM and 'Communicating through Creativity' training by Pioneer Projects for facilitators of arts and dementia programs.
