PRO BONO WORK
I’ve always reserved a portion of my time for volunteer work with communities, with a focus on supporting disadvantaged groups to address various challenges and with the aim of promoting empowerment, self-growth, autonomy, self-reliance and trust in oneself and others.
I also retain a very strong commitment to working with women, adolescents and children in a variety of environments and from a variety of cultures – including teen mothers, refugees, and immigrants – helping them to overcome challenging life situations and trauma.
