After my grandmother passed away from lung cancer in 2002, I have been a firm supporter in the work that the Canadian Cancer Society does to help better the lives of cancer patients, cancer survivors and their families, but also the work they do to honour those who have lost their battle.

During the planning stages of this event, I worked as the Lead Digital Marketing Coordinator, Assistant Venue & Volunteer Coordinator, and Assistant Charity Liaison. I have completed a variety of tasks, including running the event's social media platforms, contributing to event website design, designing and monitoring the event ticketing platform; being in correspondence with the Canadian Cancer Society charity representative, and educating and providing training for event volunteers. On event day, I was the Lead Registration Coordinator, who greeted all attendees upon their arrival, assisted in prize draw ticket sales, announced prize draw winners, and monitored the event's social media pages.
