Staff Spotlight: Meet Ed!

In my role, I plan, organize, and deliver recreation and wellness activities for many of the homes at Sunbeam. This includes communicating with team members, sharing information, and facilitating activities such as baking, outings, crafts, and other opportunities.

I have been working at Sunbeam for approximately eight years. I enjoy supporting people served by helping them take part in a variety of outings and experiences that connect them with the world around them. I am fortunate to work with an amazing team, and together we do our best to support independence and help people build meaningful life skills.

My fondest memories are seeing people served accomplish their goals. For example, I once supported a person served through the full process of attending church, which became something they looked forward to each week. I also enjoy encouraging people served to try new things and take part in experiences that help them live fulfilling lives.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym, swimming, kayaking in the summer, playing badminton and volleyball, and going on nature walks, especially near the water. I also enjoy playing keyboard and spending quality time with my daughter and friends. I volunteer regularly at the YMCA, the Downtown Community Centre, and my church.
