Vivian often describes themselves as a collection of three racoons in a trench coat. While not literally true, there’s some merit to that portrayal: they love the city, have a wide range of knowledge, and can often be found gnawing on a pizza crust. Unlike a pile of raccoons, they have worked for almost twenty years in the non-profit and governmental sectors. Throughout this time, they’ve offered executive support, policy and programs work, and a lot of excel coding for all three levels of government in Canada. They have a masters in Immigration and Settlement from Toronto Metropolitan university and firmly believe in the necessity and utility of evidence based decision making.
