Partnership Development Manager
“The most rewarding part of my job is connecting fellow Canadians to children and families in need so these generous, caring people can help transform lives. What could be more impactful, more meaningful, more fulfilling than helping children and families in the poorest areas of the world break free from the cycle of poverty and disability! I’ve always had a deep calling to help children in need, and it’s a blessing and honour to work with partners and donors doing that every day. I firmly believe that every child deserves to feel loved, and that’s exactly what happens through this work.”

“Nothing pleases me more than to see the sheer delight on the faces of people here in Canada – people whose investments and prayers are changing lives. I am so blessed to bring back stories and reports of their wonderful, inspiring and life-long impact. On a recent trip to Malawi, I met a nine-year-old boy who had lost half of his hand. Thanks to the generosity of people here, this boy received both physiotherapy and psychological counselling. When I sat down and talked with him, he told me, ‘Now I am the best football player and third-smartest student in my grade.’ The joy I saw in that boy’s eyes, the relief I saw on his mom’s face – that’s what I want to bring back to the supporters I talk to each day. This isn’t just a job. It’s a calling from God.”

“I have a passion for serving those in need and sharing the gifts God gave me with the most vulnerable people. Years ago, after a successful career as an entrepreneur, sales executive and business owner, I decided to devote my skills to humanitarian work in Africa and Southeast Asia. In 2014, I was the victim of a brutal crime that left me an incomplete quadriplegic. I pray always that God will use my difficult journey as a testament to the message of His amazing grace and the power of faith in adversity. For years, I’ve given back to the communities that have supported me, volunteering and raising awareness for the disability community, promoting inclusion and understanding. Now, I’m excited to support kids with disabilities in the world’s poorest communities in my role at Hope and Healing International. My greatest joy comes from seeing God’s love in action.”
