Why did you join redseven?

Youth education is something that has been very close to me for several years. As a teenager I was exposed to the unbelievable poverty in south-east Asia and was really taken back by the appalling conditions at local schools. I immediately developed a desire to help the youth of the developing world and have been a strong advocate of education. I wanted to join redseven so I could work along side some amazing and inspirational young professionals to help make a difference in the lives of children around the world.

When you’re not volunteering with redseven, what do you do with your time?

I work in Credit Card Product Development for a major bank and also chair a regional committee at the Bank dedicated to enhancing the employment experience of young professionals through personal and professional development.

What do you do for the redseven team?

Eventist! Working with an amazing team of talented individuals to execute redseven events.

Who is your favourite teacher and why?

Although she wasn’t my teacher, I would have to say my favourite “teacher” was a high school guidance counsellor, Mrs. Quennell. “Quenny” as she was known to the students always found a way to encourage and motivate her students, and always found a way to help students reach their potential.
