Evelyn holds a Masters Degree in Literature and a Masters degree in Education. She taught at Concordia and at Vanier College for 36 years. As a working mother of two, Evelyn keenly felt the lack of quality childcare and, therefore, helped set up the Vanier College Daycare and the Solomon Shechter Afterschool program. In 1986, she co-founded K.I.D.S. Daycares and enjoys mentoring the educators and providing quality care and education for young children.
Family, education, and community have always been priorities. Hope & Cope is especially important to her, as cancer has directly affected so many people in her family, including herself. Volunteering with Hope & Cope, both on the board and as a peer mentor, is extremely fulfilling. She is grateful for the opportunity to work with such a fine group of people.
