Our Staff

Meet the Staff

Welcome to our "about us" section! We understand that coming out is a different experience for everyone. Keeping that in mind, we like to keep diverse and unique humans around! Take a look at some of the biographies of our unique humans who are here to help YOU!

David

Director

My name is David, I use He/Him pronouns, and I have been the Coordinator at the Centre since July 2016. I hope to graduate from McGill in the School of Environment next semester, eventually I might go back to graduate school, but for now I just want to take it easy. I like to think of myself as an amateur drag queen, but while I can walk the walk, my makeup skills still leave much to be desired. In my spare time, I also like to read, write, play board games, videogames, and I nap A LOT! Come talk to me about your favorite series, and I’d be happy to give it a try!

Sarah

Coordinator

My name is Sarah. I started coming to the centre just before I turned 17 and am coming up on 23. As staff and one of the drop-in coordinators of the centre, I take pride in the work I do and the difference I make in my community. The centre has played a large role in allowing me to become more confident in myself and my identity. In my spare time I love to play D&D, board games like Monopoly, read and discuss LGBTQ2+ issues with others.

Johanna

Parent VOlunteer

My name is Johanna and I am a parent of an out and very proud Queer daughter. I am a founding member of the parents group and I facilitate the monthly meetings. I believe that education about LGBTQ2+ issues is the foundation of understanding and I try to offer support and practical information that can help parents on their journey of acceptance. One of my passions is making cookies and cupcakes which I love decorating for events at the Centre.

Carla

Volunteer

Hi! I’m Carla, I’m about to begin my Master of Information Studies degree at McGill, and I’ve been coming to the Centre for a few years now! I love reading, writing, playing board and tabletop games, and watching entirely too many TV shows.

Jeremy

Volunteer

my name is Jeremy. I’m a 25-year-old Sociology student at Concordia, and I’m gay. I first came to the centre when I came out at 18; seven years and they still can’t get rid of me. I spend most of my time with my nose in a book, doing school work, playing video games (Smash Bros ftw) and making jokes that nobody ever laughs at. One of my passions in life is travelling. I’ve visited Bangladesh, Uganda, Jordan, and Hong Kong to name a few. If you’re ever in need of any tips on travelling, where to go, what to see, and what to do when you get there, I’m your guy. I hope to see you around the centre, we’re always happy to see new faces!

Andrew

Hello! So, to tell you about myself, I am a Pipe welder for a large company. I have an artistic side where I paint and create artwork with my learned trade skills. I am a outdoors person and love physical activities and am always looking forward to the next adventure

Meaghen

Volunteer

I am a Chinese adoptee, and past homeschooler. Currently, I study sociology at Concordia University, focusing on a path towards social work. During my free time I work with dogs, read, cook, play music and games (whether it be tabletop, video, or board), and spend time with friends.

Graham

Volunteer

After graduating with a B.A. in Philosophy from Stetson University, I started
volunteering at the Centre in October 2017. I hope to be able to support and empower
youth through a respectful and inclusive discourse. I am open-minded, a good listener,
and enjoy learning about new activities.
