I design and create unique rosaries. Each piece is handmade with care, making it both beautiful and reverent. It's my goal to pay homage to the art of devotion.

I assist seniors with government application forms, including (but not limited to) Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, Alberta Seniors Benefit and Survivor's/Death Benefit applications. I also provide referrals and support as needed. I hope to incorporate a holistic approach by adding more community based programming, such as art therapy and physical activity to the services I currently provide.

Duties included creating resumes and cover letters for job seekers as well as providing assistance with Employment Insurance and Social Insurance Number applications. I also ran several art programs for at-risk, difficult to employ youth. Other duties included general office administration and reporting.
