Last night, I was incredibly honoured to receive the Emerging Leader 2026 Award at the Voice and Vision Western Canada Womenās Conference Awards Dinner. š¤
During my speech, I also had the opportunity to announce where my fundraising efforts will be directed this year: the Kamloops Hospice Associationās Children & Youth Grief and Bereavement Programs.
These programs provide children and youth navigating the loss of a loved one with a safe, supportive space to process their grief through resources such as art and play therapy, as well as opportunities to connect with others who understand what theyāre going through.
Being able to use my platform to bring awareness to such meaningful work is something Iām incredibly grateful for. I believe every child deserves to feel supported, heard, and less alone during some of lifeās hardest moments, and Iām so excited to support this important cause in the year ahead.
Thank you to Voice and Vision Western Canada for this incredible honour and for recognizing the next generation of women leaders. š
