I work as the Experiential Learning Liaison between TSC and the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation. I’ve recently started in this role but have been involved with TSC for many years, dating back to 2016! My first experiences were as a volunteer with FES and Steadward Bears Para Athletics. I also worked as a teaching assistant during graduate school and supported students volunteering with the PALS program as part of their education. I got to work with over 100 students during this time, many of whom were first time volunteers and several continued to volunteer or work with TSC afterwards! Together, these experiences equipped me for my current position. I can relate to volunteers entering their (often first) role at TSC as new experiences can be intimidating! Moreover, I’m prepared to support volunteers in their successes and challenges. Over many terms, I have seen the attitudes of volunteers shift towards improved understanding of accessibility and inclusion. I’ve watched as volunteers and TSC members build rapport and trust with one another. Being a part of volunteer development and training - both in person and behind the scenes as I build new learning and training modules for volunteers - is an exciting and fulfilling experience!
