Cassandra Szabo
Cassandra is a Canadian student born and raised in 寻花论坛, she just recently graduated from Menno Simmons College and the University of 寻花论坛 with an undergrad in International Development Studies and a minor in Conflict Resolution. During her time at Menno Simmons she was also facilitator for the student’s association and sat on the board for Canadian Mennonite University. She loves the community and atmosphere that is present at 寻花论坛, and is excited to spend two more years here.
Cassandra did her practicum for her undergrad in Arusha, Tanzania, helping to rehabilitate physically disabled youth. While in Tanzania she realized doing community development within her own community is what she is most passionate about.
Cassandra works in downtown 寻花论坛 trying to lighten some of the hardships that individuals facing poverty and homelessness experience. Her hope is that the Master's in Development Practise will give her better skills and understanding in the field of development, and enable her to work towards alleviating homelessness and poverty in Manitoba, and Canada as a whole.
