Local and Global Work 

Rochelle’s work is grounded in a commitment to advancing quality education, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4.

Over the years, her work has taken her across both local and global contexts. She has supported school construction projects in Kenya, worked with a local orphanage in Fiji, mentored young entrepreneurs in Australia, and partnered with organizations such as Theirworld, Plan International Canada, World Vision, and Youth Talks. She also spent time at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, where she began engaging more directly in global education spaces.

This work has since grown into policy and advisory roles. Rochelle now advises the United Nations and global institutions, contributing to education policy discussions with the Global Partnership for Education and engaging with Member States and civil society leaders. Her work has focused on areas including gender equality, child safety, freedom of expression, and strengthening youth voice in decision-making spaces.

She currently serves as Director of Youth Engagement and Alumni Relations with The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Canada, where she supports national efforts to deepen youth participation and leadership.

Alongside her global work, Rochelle remains deeply connected to her local community. Her candidacy in municipal politics, which earned the support of more than 23,000 voters, further shaped her commitment to public service and community-driven change.

Across everything she does, her focus is simple: helping move young people from being included in conversations to having real influence in the systems that shape their lives.

Rochelle acknowledges that she works, lives, and plays on the traditional, unceded territories of the Semiahmoo, Katzie, Kwikwetlem, Kwantlen, Qayqayt and Tsawwassen First Nations peoples.
