7 years ago, I started a mediation practice and have currently with my best friend started a free guided meditation YouTube channel @MeditateWithUsSFE. We hope to share the value of intentional self-care as it relates to life satisfaction and personal growth!

We did a team project to renovate and improve the interior of the office and warehouse building of the non-profit association Furniture Bank located in Barrie.
This organization collects and renews furniture to be donated to homeless people who are changing their lives. The objective of this project was to renovate a part of its offices, the warehouse, to improve the experience of people who come looking for help, as well as its employees and volunteers. We apply all our knowledge as interior decoration students to solve the needs of users and make them safe and functional.

I think one of the biggest act of changemaking I like to do is giving back to our Earth. It's something I've always had a strong opinion about and something I will always care about. Why this may be is because we only have one Earth that we can live on and the way it's been treated isn't good for our safety of living here and Global Warming is something that everyone is experiencing and if we don't find a way to give back and help out the Earth in every way we can, we won't have that much more time here. Even if you're way of giving back is doing something small like picking up trash, reusing more and more items, going to a re-usable item store to find clothing or things for you home, sticking to re-usable kitchen items, or simply choosing to walk or bike somewhere instead of driving could also really benefit our community in the long run. Be environmentally safe and being aware of what your doing and how it can affect others, the Earth or animals can change the way you view things.

During ITStart week, the Canadian Idiom Flashcard activity was conducted with the goal of promoting cultural inclusivity and student engagement. The activity was designed to be interactive and engaging. It also aimed to break down cultural barriers and promote understanding among students. The participants were students/faculty/staff of Georgian College belonging to different cultural backgrounds who came together to learn about Canadian culture and language.
The activity involved providing participants with flashcards containing Canadian idioms and phrases. Participants were then asked to tell its meaning either individually, in pairs, or in teams. The activity also included prizes for the winners, making it more engaging and fun.
The activity was well-received by the students, who expressed enthusiasm for learning about Canadian culture and language. The game was effective in improving language skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. It also helped to foster a sense of community among the participants by encouraging friendly competition, teamwork, and communication.
In terms of key learnings, the Canadian Idiom Flashcard activity helped to promote cultural inclusivity and student engagement. The activity was successful in achieving its goals by encouraging students to learn more about Canadian culture and language, and by fostering a sense of community among participants.

At Orangeville campus, ‘Come Together: ITSTARTS With Us’ week was organized. It was hosted by the Segal International Centre on March 22nd, 2023. It was a first time that this event happened in campus. Many tabling activities were there. Lot of students took part in these fun activities. The main aim of ITSTARTS was to bring all communities together and reduce discrimination in society. Students took part in this campaign at campus. Short movie was displayed to aware students against Racism. Cultural food was given to students so that everyone can try new foods. Students wrote Welcome in their own language on poster and those posters were sticked on the wall of one of the walls of the campus. This gave opportunities to students to learn a word in different languages and giving importance to other cultural languages. This is changemaking, bringing services and experiences like this to Orangeville campus.

We were struggling to find in person placements for our students after the pandemic that would allow them to practice their entry level skills. At the same time we were made aware of an opportunity to have new clothes donated to us by a contact in the community. We have always noticed a need for our students to have different clothing options and assumed other students within the College would be no different - which is where the idea for the Clothing Locker came into play. Developed in the same way the Food Locker is we offer new clothes to students in need which has also allowed us to create two really important field placements for our CICE students where they get to work on their organization, customer service, communication, and teamwork skills. With over 200 requests for clothing since we've opened this past semester, we know the need is there and we are so happy to be able to help. We are partnering with other departments and hope to open up a new location by the bookstore for Fall 2023 which will allow for more space and more community connections. This is only the start!

I facilitaed a field trip to Wye Marsh for a group of students from diverse backgrounds. By planning an engaging and interactive trip students were able to learn about Ontario's culture and history while building relationships with one another. Throughout the trip, I observed students forming new friendships and engaging in meaningful conversations with each other. By the end of the trip, the students had not only gained knowledge about Ontario's culture and history, but they also formed a strong bond with one another that will last beyond the trip.
