Rising Tech
RISING TECH is a 15-week program that equips creators with storytelling, immersive tech and business skills.
Having grown up in Scarborough, this work is deeply connected to my own community and the importance of making creative and entrepreneurial opportunities more accessible to the people and places that shaped me.
I see RISING TECH as a way to invest in local talent, bridge the gap between creativity and business, and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs to recognize the value of their ideas, build their own pathways, and contribute to the communities they come from.

As Program Manager at RISING TECH, a program of R.I.S.E. Edutainment, we’ve equipped emerging creatives with the entrepreneurial skills, industry knowledge, and resources to turn their ideas into sustainable ventures.
