From Refugee to Housing Advocate
I came to Canada as a refugee and experienced firsthand how overwhelming the housing system can be. Today, as a Housing Stabilization Strategist with an MBA, Human Rights background, and real estate experience, I help individuals, families, and organizations build housing knowledge, confidence, and stability.
