Currently Teena is the Director of Housing Services for Compass Housing Alliance. Teena has been in the housing and supportive service industry since 1994. Prior to that, Teena worked in Social Services in residential treatment and as a school counsellor, where she witnessed the impacts of housing instability daily. Being part of housing and services has been a professional fit, to meet basic human needs and then provide the rest alongside the resident to empower and encourage over long periods of time, has proven to be effective. It has always been such an honor and privilege that others have invited me into their life's journey.
