My name is Emma (she/her) and I am a student of psychology at Concordia University, working to complete by BAHon within the next 2-3 years. I moved to Montreal in September 2020 from Victoria, BC, where I worked as a casual support worker at the Garth Homer Society, a program providing services to adults with cognitive and/or developmental disabilities. Due to the staffing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was reallocated to a position in GHS's Residential Care program, which provides 24/7, fully supported care to seniors with cognitive and/or developmental disabilities. Previous to my employment at the Garth Homer Society, I volunteered at a school for the visually impaired in England, where I provided support in a "house parent" role within the residential side of the school, and took on a variety of support roles during the school day. My experience living and working in England was what pushed me into a career in psychology and ignited my passion for community support work.
