Accomplishments
Prior to her legal career, Sreya worked with various non-profit organizations and provided anti-violence, anti-oppression, and inclusivity training.
As a Program Coordinator for the “No Means No” program at LEAF Windsor, she frequently delivered presentations to young adults about consent and sexual violence. She thoroughly enjoyed training other trainers to deliver effective and informative presentations about sexual violence in our communities.
Backstory
Before going to law school, Sreya earned a Master of Arts in legal studies and gained experience working in the non-profit sector, including as a Community Developer, Project Coordinator for an organization aimed at supporting victims of human trafficking, and as a support worker at a Sexual Assault Support Centre. Her passion for helping people is what attracted her to labour and employment law.
An interesting tidbit
Sreya recently discovered her love for whitewater rafting and canyoning. The fact that she does not know how to swim may have crossed her mind a couple of times as she rappelled down a 200-foot waterfall in a tropical rain forest.
Swimming lessons rank very high on Sreya’s ‘to-do list’.
