Melike is completing a Master of Counselling Psychology at City University of Seattle. Her studies focus on trauma and a social justice approach to mental health, including how culture, identity, and access shape well-being. She brings this perspective to her work supporting psychological health and safety across British Columbia’s continuing care sector.

Outside of work, Melike can often be found paddleboarding with Tomas, her 17-year-old French poodle, or making her way through a growing stack of books and podcasts.
