    Champion for 2SLGBTQAI+ Rights
    "I am so honoured to be your 2SLGBTQAI+ Champion! As such, my hope is to not only represent a voice for you and your family when it comes to inclusion and diversity policies for our queer community, but also work for you and your needs behind the scenes within the greater world of CFMWS. I want to help build a network based on support, diversity, understanding, compassion and most of all, mutual respect. My promise is to continue the communications, be open and present when engaging with you and to understand your needs in hopes of creating a better tomorrow for all. At the end of the day, I wish to create honest, safe dialogue that can further a network of support and understanding from a level of respect and dignity for all."
