Meet the N + F team!

Torry H. (she/her)

I’m Torry and I work as the Student Leadership Coordinator at the Office of Student Life. I bring a comprehensive knowledge of UVic through my time as a former student and having worked here for almost ten years!

My approach to leadership has been greatly informed by my core values of trust, respect, and community, experiences in the UVic community, and strength in relationship building. As a leader who identifies as a white settler, I am constantly working to develop my own critical awareness and continually seek opportunities to centre historically marginalized voices.

While envisioning Nourish + Flourish, we were reflecting on what we were hearing from our student community and what had been brought to the surface about our collective experience was the desire for deeper, meaningful conversation and relationships of longevity, as well as further empowerment in our lives and thus Nourish + Flourish was born!

I grew up on the lands of the Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc and am grateful to have called the unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən, Songhees, Xʷsepsəm/Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples home for the past fifteen years.

In my free time, I love listening to podcasts, doing yoga and barre classes, trying new restaurants, and spending time outdoors with friends and family.

Fahé V. (she/her)

My name is Fahé (pronounced Fa-eh) and I am a white settler of French descent who grew up in unceded Algonquin and Anishinaabe territory, colonially known as Ottawa-Gatineau. I live and work on the unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən, Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, for which I am grateful and always in awe of. As the Programs Assistant for the Office of Student Life, I assist with the various events and workshops put on by the office including New Student Orientation, the Student Life Grant committee and Nourish+Flourish. I love contemporary art and design, ceramics, board games, ocean dips, paddleboarding, camping and travelling around the beautiful territories of the Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth and Kwakwaka’wakw peoples.

Caelan

Hello, my name is Caelan. I am a current student in the Master of Public Administration program at UVic and am grateful to live and learn as an uninvited guest on the unceded traditional territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən, W̱SÁNEĆ, and Songhees Peoples. 

I hold a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Education from the University of British Columbia, where I held various student leadership roles. Before starting my master's studies, I worked as a secondary English and food studies teacher, an experience that informs my approach to creating meaningful learning and community-building programming for students.  

Outside of my academic and professional work, I am a puzzle enthusiast, a dedicated visual media consumer, and an avid indoor gardener.
