I am happy to be the manager of the new Youth Programme! This is a brand-new project looking to bring the amazing support MensCraft offers to adolescent boys in the area. It is hard to say exactly what the programme will include however, I am hoping to have mentoring support, a youth led podcast, and bringing boys together with men from the community through various peer-led supports. With all of that said, my main goal for the programme is to support boys in improving their emotional wellbeing, thinking about masculinity, building connections, and fostering hope for their futures.

My career to date has brought me into a variety of spaces working with youth. Over this time, I have worked at overnight summer camps, in residential homes, as a child and youth counsellor, and in youth justice. All of this has given me the opportunity to see first hand the challenges teenage boys face and how they can flourish with the right support around them.

I moved to the UK from Canada in 2023, bringing with me a love of watching ice hockey and American football. I love a bit of exercise, cooking, baking, gaming, and a wide range of films, music, and books. I am happy to be part of the MensCraft family and can’t wait to see what the future for us brings!
