50th Anniversary Memory: Sahana Rajiyah (BSc 1991)

While at Wordsworth, I had an incredible academic counsellor named Damon Chevrier, who was a godsend.

Every time I got confused or overwhelmed about courses or future career plans he would patiently hear me out, and tell me about all my options and give me sound advice. He single-handedly helped me navigate those tough few years and keep my stress under control. I owe him a lot.

As my kids got older and had their school counsellors, I always used Damon's example as the gold standard for what an academic counsellor should be.

After Graduating 

After my BSc, I earned a Bachelor of Education at U of T also, and then moved to the US and went on to earn an Master's of Social Work.

I have practiced as a social worker in the areas of foster care prevention, domestic violence counselling and advocacy, healthcare, refugee services and DEI.
