Making a positive difference in students’ lives

"I'm passionate about engaging and empowering youth in our community to explore and get excited about their career journey."

“Serving as a Director with the BEP is a pleasure because helping high school students explore post-secondary options is at the core of everything we do. The BEP connects students, parents, teachers and professionals early in the career exploration process. We make it easier for students to investigate careers possibilities based on their interests and strengths.”

“To me, the BEP plays an important role in the future success of our youth. The BEP provides opportunities for engagement between students and the local businesses community, leading to a greater understanding their future needs and opportunities.”

“Generations of students have tried to figure out what career opportunities are out there for them without a lot of insight from those actually working in those roles. The BEP breaks down barriers for students and teachers that I wished existed when I was a student when trying to make one of the most important decisions of my life. I volunteer to ensure students have access to those insights and experiences for the betterment of their future and our Region.”

“It’s a great pleasure to be involved with an organization that both connects local youth and their families with the opportunities that our Region offers and provides businesses with a venue for reinvestment in the communities that they are a part of.”
