Makayla Naomi Finn
Makayla's mission in life is to unify and empower individuals by providing a space for them to feel represented, respected and appreciated to be unequivocally and unapologetically themselves! She is currently in her fourth year at Brock University enrolled in the Bachelors of Physical Education Program and is completing a Minor Bachelors of Dramatic Arts. Creating, self-expression and bringing core ideas to life, is her lifeline- it's always been so magical to her. All she wants to do is give back and support individuals on their surviving to thriving journeys. Spreading joy and giving back to the community is so important and she is so grateful for the opportunity to support individuals in need.
