Executive Director
Kitchener, ON

My career path has been in sectors of Not-For-Profit Development and Governance & Policy with multiple leadership or management positions. My favourite thing about the Marguerite is that it feels like home. Ellen DeGeneres is someone that inspires me; I love her philosophy "be kind to one another". A fun fact about me is that I am a Mini-motorist! I have driven a Mini for the last 11 years and love them! We participate in Mini Rally's across Eastern Canada and enjoy meeting up with other Mini-Motor people from North America.

Jen D

Program Director

Cape Breton, NS

With many years of experience working in the non-profit sector, I’ve used my Psychology background and diverse work experiences to support families, immigrants, women and the marginalized in our community. The thing that I love most about working at The Marguerite Centre is being reminded everyday that we each have our own unique story and it shapes how we are in this world. Someone that inspires me is the actor and podcaster Dax Shepard because he speaks very candidly about his life and his addiction, he knows it doesn’t define who he is and he welcomes every person with humor, love and without judgement. A fun fact about me is that I was a doula and childbirth educator for several years in Cape Breton and was lucky enough to witness many babies take their first breath.

Operations Manager

Halifax, NS

I attended Dalhousie University for a BA Psychology and Sociology and am continuing to further my education in the field of Addictions. To me, The Marguerite Centre represents a safe place for healing and growth, and I love being able to create a warm, welcoming environment for each individual to do so. I am consistently inspired by the kindness of our fellow community members and strive to pass along that kindness every day. A fun fact about me is that I ride a motorcycle and enjoy going for a cruise on a sunny day!

T.C. S

Program Facilitator
Halifax, NS

I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia, however I have lived in Vancouver, Toronto and Owen Sound. Nova Scotia is by far my favorite. I am a CCA by trade and I am fluent in Sign Language. The Marguerite Centre has been amazing, the staff is open and accepting. It feels like coming home. My daughter inspires me, other than being the coolest person I know she is unapologetically herself all the time, she stands up for the underdog and she loves with her whole being. Once she sets her mind to something she will attain it. A fun fact about me is that I have a bearded dragon named Mushu.

Morgan M

Recovery Facilitator
Antigonish, NS

I have a BA in Psychology (Dalhousie University) and an Advanced Diploma Addictions Community Outreach (NSCC). My favourite thing about the Marguerite Centre is that we value people over profits! We'll never let your financial status get in the way of your fresh start. I am inspired by Gabor Maté, because he is exceptionally compassionate and non-judgemental in his approach to addiction and mental health. A fun fact about me is that I'm writing a book - but at this rate, expect it to hit the shelves in early 2077!

Health Promotion Navigator

Kelowna, BC

I graduated from Dalhousie University with a BA of Science in Health Promotion and continue to further my education in mental health and addictions. The Marguerite Centre offers a safe, inclusive, and a supportive space for women to heal and grow. My favorite thing about the Centre is the holistic and trauma-informed focus; the positive impact of mindfulness and healing the whole person is incredible to see. I feel lucky every day to work with such inspiring, resilient women! After work, I love spending my time outdoors with my big pup Jeriko, camping, backpacking, gardening, reading and crafting.

Lora C

Special Projects Coordinator

Victoria, BC

I have a BA in Biology/English from the University of Victoria and I have spent the last 16 years working and volunteering in non-profit social service organizations with people who have intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and who have complex intersectional support needs. I believe that a community is only as safe, strong, and resilient as its most vulnerable members are, and we all have a role to play for true inclusion to be achieved. I am proud to work for an organization that is trauma-informed and provides flexible, client centered supports. A fun fact about me is that I struggle to remember people's names, but I can remember the lyrics to almost any song I hear more than once!

Grant Writer

Small town Newfoundland

I attended Dalhousie University in Halifax. My Social Work education has led me to spend much of my career in the field of homelessness and vulnerable people. Connecting my background and work, what I like best about The Marguerite Centre is the empowerment of female support & encouragement. Based on this perspective, Brene Brown is an inspiration in my life as a female-driven researcher, author, and educator. A fun fact about myself would be that I am a huge fan of stock car & Formula 1 racing!
