Many would describe me to be a very altruistic person who enjoys connecting with and helping people all around me. This led me to an interest in studying and graduating with a Bachelor’s in Public Policy at York University as I had a strong passion for learning the policies that wedge community together.

My career is centered around guiding individuals and couples through the intricate process of egg donation. My role encompasses coordinating all stages of the journey, from initial consultations to matching donors and recipients, and providing support during the entire process.
One of the most gratifying aspects of my work is witnessing the joy that comes from helping individuals and couples achieve their dream of parenthood. My deep understanding of the emotional and medical aspects of egg donation enables me to provide comprehensive guidance and support. My role as an Egg Donor Coordinator is marked by compassion, dedication, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact in the lives of those I serve, ultimately helping to create families and bring joy to those in need.
