Social Work Intern

Born and raised in the east-end of Ottawa, Shana has always been interested in helping others and has always had a sense of social justice. After graduating from St. Matthew High School in Orleans, she entered the Bachelor of Social Work Program, with Minors in Psychology and Sociology, at Carleton University and is now in her final year of study.

Ecological justice will be a new area for Shana, who is interested in learning how environmental change affects people locally, nationally and globally. She is looking forward to increasing her exposure to policy development and learning more about NGOs and their interaction with government bodies.

In her spare time, Shana enjoys reading, travelling and spending time with friends and family. Next year, she hopes to continue with her education and pursue a Master’s of Social Work at McGill University.

Raised in the rural south-western municipality of Chatham-Kent, Daniela has always had an interest in social justice and helping others. Before moving to Ottawa in September of this year, Daniela was a Big Sister with the Chatham chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Daniela holds a BA with a Specialization in History from Huron University College at the University of Western Ontario and is currently completing a Bachelor of Social Work degree at Carleton University.

During her placement here at CPJ, Daniela will be looking at the issue of climate change and the moral responsibility we, as Canadians and citizens of the world, have in lowering our greenhouse gas emissions.
