She pours her heart into projects that uplift and celebrate queer voices. Outside of work, she's likely on a weekend adventure, exploring Winnipeg's hidden gems with her partner and camera, lost in a video game world, or simply enjoying quiet moments at home with her two adorable cats.

    SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER / MEMBER-AT-LARGE

    Tommy is always working on something—whether it’s building his small business, experimenting with content creation, or learning a new skill. He’s curious, community-minded, and thrives on growth (and maybe a little too much bubble tea). His screen time is mostly “market research”—or at least that’s what he tells himself.
