I attended the 2026 Ontario Budget Consultation Seminar and found it very meaningful. During the discussion, I shared my hope that the government can provide more support and benefits for children with special needs and people with disabilities. I also expressed the importance of increasing funding for Gifted People Service, so we can continue to offer high-quality programs and help more families in need. I truly believe that with better funding and inclusive policies, we can build a more caring and supportive community for everyone.

This year, I had the joy of joining our team for a warm and memorable Christmas celebration at GPS. It was truly heartwarming to sit together with our staff, share delicious food, enjoy festive treats, and feel the excitement during the gift exchange. Watching everyone laugh, connect, and celebrate reminded me how grateful I am for this dedicated and diverse team. Moments like these remind me why we built GPS — not just as a workplace, but as a supportive and caring community. I’m thankful for everyone’s hard work throughout the year and wish our whole team a wonderful holiday season.

As the founder of Gifted People Services, I was honored to attend the launch of the three-year $100,000 donation program from Xinflix Entrepreneur Chamber of Commerce in support of GPS. I am deeply grateful for their generosity and recognition of our mission. This commitment strengthens our work and brings new hope to the children and families we serve. Together, we can build a more inclusive and supportive community for every child.

I was honored to be invited to speak at “ECHOES OF GIFTED HEARTS,” a community event presented by ECHOE in collaboration with Gifted People Services (G.P.S.).

ECHOE is a youth-led organization dedicated to promoting empathy, inclusion, and community engagement through creative projects and social initiatives.
This event beautifully reflected their mission — bringing people together to share stories of resilience and support families touched by developmental disabilities.

Last Saturday, I attended the HMCC Appreciation Tea Gathering, where Gifted People Services was honored to be one of the sponsors of the 2025 Pine Tree Senior Award.

During my speech, I shared that "our seniors are a true treasure — their experiences and wisdom are examples for all of us to learn from." It was a meaningful afternoon filled with warmth, gratitude, and intergenerational connection.

On October 26, as the founder of Gifted People Services, I was deeply proud to see our organization celebrate its 13th anniversary with our annual gala.

The evening brought together sponsors, staff, and volunteers for a night of live performances and a wonderful dinner.

It was a heartfelt celebration dedicated to honoring the incredible work and achievements our team has accomplished over the past year.

On October 19, 2025, I attended the Grand Impact Awards, a wonderful evening celebrating the strength and achievements of WeWorkingWomen.
As the founder of Gifted People Services, I was honored to join this inspiring event and witness the beauty, courage, and power of women shining together.

I’m deeply honored to receive the King Charles Coronation Award from the Canadian government, recognizing my work in community service and philanthropy.
For over thirteen years, I’ve devoted myself to advancing inclusion, special education, and family support through Gifted People Services.
This award is both an encouragement and a responsibility, inspiring me to continue building a more inclusive and compassionate community where every child is seen and respected.
