Meet the Staff

I am unbelievably thankful to be joining the Chappelle Gardens team. I have been a resident in Chappelle Gardens for the past 5 years, and have previously served our community. My heart is for building community and connecting people together. When I am not working, I enjoy baking, reading, crocheting, and painting along with walking my two dogs along the community walking trails. I am excited to get to know each of you a little more, and to serve this beautiful community we call home.

Sarb has lived in the Chappelle neighbourhood for 6 years and has loved every moment. She likes to get crafty and do new activities! She is excited to share these ideas with the community and see everyone enjoy themselves! In her free time she spends it with her two beautiful girls getting crafty, snuggles and exploring new things with them. She looks forward to meeting new community members and helping create wonderful memories at the Social house!

Grant has a passion for making the community a better place to be a part of. Part of how he accomplishes this is by making sure our facilities and spaces are safe and well maintained. He also loves music - all types and varieties. Grant enjoys the outdoors, and loves a good campfire.

Jose is in charge of all the fun events and programs community members take part in here at the RA. He is the one that plans the events, gets supplies, and someone who is always there to joke around with the kids. He wishes he could have tacos for lunch everyday and wear his sombrero to work. He is most content when playing the guitar and connecting with community members. He is always looking forward to connecting with the community on the daily.

Hi!! My name is Anne and I have lived in the community for a total of 3 years now. I moved out of the community last 2020 but found myself coming back and permanently settling here as a resident. During my free time I enjoy socializing. Going out for coffee or some snacks with family and friends. I enjoy going on leisure walks every chance I get to enjoy nature and get some fresh air. I have also started my fascination towards house plants which helps me cope up with stress.

Hi, my name is Noah. I’m a first year university student in Sciences. I've been working at the RA for about two and a half years and love crushing Bansari in ping pong but love my dog more.
