Over the past few years they have also led transgender-focused peer support circles for Eating Disorders Nova Scotia and Spectrum. Prior to their work at Spectrum and their time in school, they worked as a graphic designer for a company in Montreal, but are happy to have settled back in the region where they were born and raised.
