What positions have you held in CISV (Locally/Nationally/Internationally)
- I have held the local positions of Risk Manager, Jr./Sr. LJR, and I am currently the Risk Manager again! On the national board I am currently the Internal Communications Coordinator (ICC) and proudly make up ½ of the CommSquad!
What is your best CISV memory?
-One of the hardest questions to ask a CISVer. My step up was in Alta, Norway which is one of the most northern places you can go (more north than Iqaluit, for some reference). The Colombian delegation had to leave camp a day early and so just after they had left the site, the rest of the camp hiked up a mountain next to our site and sat at the top. Because the town is so small we could see the airport, so as a camp we watched as their plane flew away. It was a cool moment, literally on top of the world.
What is your favourite CISV activity and/or energizer?
-My favourite energizer has always been and always will be the Shake Down. It is so easy to run, actually gets you energized, and of course you get to do a stellar ninja kick at the very end.
What is your favourite thing about JB Canada?
-I love talking about JB Canada to other chapters because we are so amazing! We are connected, share ideas, help each other, and just find ways to constantly improve CISV Canada. I have met some of my closest CISV friends through National Camp, and it’s just a good example of how you can become so bonded with others without even leaving Canada!
What do you like most about your Eh Team position?
-I’ve always known I wanted to be on the Eh Team, and specifically Internal Comms. I love being able to connect chapters, especially through the blog (cisvcanuck, check it out) and social media! It’s the fact that I get to make JB Joke Fridays on the Instagram (jbcancommsquad) and post hysterical pictures that make me love my job even more!
What change would you like to see occur in JB Canada?
-I think JB Canada has so many ideas that it would be great if chapters could have ways to share those ideas. More inter-chapter discussion and connection would be super cool!
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
-I hope to see myself happy (cheesy answer, I know). I would love to have a career that interests me and makes me happy to go into work everyday. Maybe a teacher? Scientist? Who knows. Lastly, I would love to be able to have a family, or perhaps being in the process of starting a fam. I can’t wait to be a dad.
If you could be any kitchen utensil, what would you be? Why?
-Being an avid cook myself I know the importance of a good Chef’s knife. I like to think that I’m a sharp and versatile person who can be useful in different places. Cutting, chopping, transporting, I’m all over the place. And sometimes when you just wanna have a super cool tool, you grab the Chef knife (lowkey trying to say that I’m cool).
What is your favourite thing about your city/province?
-I hail from the Capital. The mighty Otown. The big 613 (the 6ix’s nerdy brother). My favourite thing about Ottawa is that you can have the small city feel in a big city. I can go visit the downtown core, Parliament, the Byward market all while going for a bike ride along the Rideau Canal and totally feel like it’s a quaint little city. I sometimes have to remind myself that although we’re pretty small, we’re still the nation’s capital and that’s pretty cool.
Thanks for reading! Come back next week to check out our next Eh Team interview!
