Most of my professional experience has been in the field of infant and children's mental health working as a child and family clinician. In 2010, I founded an early childhood development and parenting company called Wholeplay Family Services, which provides parent-child programming and individual support to families with young children. In November of 2019, I graduated from the University of Toronto after having completed my dissertation on digital documentation technology in Ontario's Kindergarten Program.
