Elyse D.
Ottawa
My journey began at 14 when I took on the responsibility of caring for a family member. During the pandemic, I became the primary caregiver for a close family member, which deepened my respect and appreciation for the work families put into caring for their loved ones and highlighted the need for respite and support from organizations that provide access to caregivers.
Personal Bio:
Outside of work, I like to socialize and enjoy playing group sports or any competitive activities, such as tennis, soccer, and badminton. I also have a passion for debate and trivia nights and was part of a weekly trivia league for a long time before moving to the region this year. My goal is to one day travel to every country possible, I’m currently at 1/5 of my goal.
Professional Experience:
I am Elyse, a dedicated special educator with a long-standing commitment to caregiving. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with people with disabilities, individuals with neurodegenerative disorders, adults facing mental illness and substance abuse issues, and have had the opportunity to supervise a team of intervenants.
