Kirsten G. — Operations Associate
Passionate about advocacy and support for vulnerable populations. The first four years of my career were spent working with youth in residential care, where I developed a deep understanding of trauma-informed support and the importance of building trust and connection. I later transitioned into the homelessness sector, working with individuals at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Over the years, I have grown from frontline roles into leadership positions, always guided by my core values of compassion, dignity, and respect for every person I encounter. I lead through a trauma-informed lens and prioritize a person-centered approach in all aspects of my work. I’ve had the privilege of contributing to the development and growth of a Housing First program within the City of London. This experience has allowed me to collaborate with community partners and advocate for the fundamental human right to safe, secure, and affordable housing for all individuals, no matter their circumstances.
