Mandeep holds a Sociology Degree, as well as a Business Administration and Paralegal Studies Diploma. She has been working with the Government of Alberta for the past 10 years, and her ambitious future plans to become a lawyer is just the “cherry-on-top” to help serve the community. Mandeep is a busy mother to two beautiful boys, despite all the chaos she still finds time to volunteer for several non-profit organizations as she believes “it’s a selfless act and if I have the power to move mountains, then so be it through volunteer work!” Mandeep encourages others to volunteer as well as it changes the face of humanity. Through her role on the NHF committee, she empowers vulnerable individuals who have been oppressed, controlled, and are vulnerable to abuse. It’s an opportunity to inspire these courageous and strong people, struggling with deteriorated feelings of self-worth due to past domestic (physical, mental, and emotional) abuse, to come forward and share their stories as survivors. Showing a way for overcoming fears and help them find healing.
