I am the Chief Executive Officer of AMSSA, a British Columbia provincial association that strengthens over 70 member agencies as well as hundreds of community stakeholder agencies who serve immigrants and newcomers. I have a deep interest in the settlement and integration journey of newcomers to our province. As a settler on these unceded territories and through my work, I strive to learn about and take accountability for the inherent privilege I have to live, work and raise my children on stolen land.
