As a newcomer, discovering the stories behind Toronto’s buildings not only made the city feel like home but also helped me adjust to a new life. Volunteering with TSA allows me to give that experience to others, combining my passion for architecture, storytelling, and mentorship while connecting with a community that shares my values and advocating for a more inclusive future in the field.
