Meet the Staff

Mah-E has been working with the Residents Association since 2017 and has a background in Business Accounting. She has proudly called the beautiful community of Chappelle home since 2016. Mah-E loves travelling and trying new food with her husband and three children. Passionate about creating memorable experiences for families, she takes great joy in seeing visitors enjoy the facility’s amenities and events. One of her travel dreams is to visit Turkey, especially the stunning Cappadocia region, for a hot air balloon ride.

Meet the curious little Garden Gnome who is constantly exploring what Chappelle Gardens has to offer. He and his feathered friend, Ruby, like to attend events, register for programs, and take full advantage of the amenities at the CGRA. Keep an eye out for all the fun things he gets into on our social media platforms or meet him at the Social House!

Hello! I'm Kattreis, a passionate introvert who finds joy in reading, dancing, and trying new things. As an avid reader, I love getting lost in different worlds through books. Dancing is my expressive outlet, and I enjoy the thrill of trying new activities that push me out of my comfort zone. Despite being an introvert, I do enjoy meeting new people and helping others whenever I can. Life, for me, is an ongoing adventure of self-discovery and embracing new experiences.

Prasanthi has lived in the Chappelle Gardens Community for 6 years. She joined our team in 2023 and her favourite part about working at the RA is getting to expand her knowledge about all our community members and their heritage! In her free time Prasanthi enjoys working on her garden and listening to Sri Lankan music! A fun fact about Prasanthi is that she is an awesome cook and is always experimenting in the kitchen! If you see her around don’t be shy to come in and say hi!

Naazy comes from a big football background (playing and coaching), loves animals, and enjoys the outdoors, especially hikes in the mountains. She is super excited to host events and connect with the kiddos as she will lead our summer camps this year!

Laiba served the community as a volunteer prior to becoming a CSR and Summer Camp Counselor at our wonderful social house. She strives to spread kindness and positivity in the community while working with young minds creating a safe space for learning! She is a mama of 2 cats named Simba and Bumsi. She enjoys snowboarding, going on long drives while jamming out to some Drake!

Hi my names Neha and I’m in my first year in university for nursing. I’ve been at the Social House for a little over a year now and I love coming here with my brother and playing in the court with him. I love being outside especially in the summer time at the RA I love playing with kids and having a fun time. I’m happy to be connecting with community and seeing smiles everywhere :))

Hi, my name is Bansari. I am a university student who loves waffles, strawberries, and ducks. I am exceptionally bad at soccer and cannot seem to improve. While I enjoy all the activities available at the RA, my favourite is our ping-pong table, so if you ever need a partner, just let me know ;) p.s if you’re struggling with saying my name, try saying it as bun-surrey :)

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.

It's not often that you hear that someone loves their job. The CGRA gives me more than it takes... I love working here! I am so lucky to to be able to channel my creativity through my work. But the BEST part of my jobs is the relationships I have built and the friendships I have made in the community. I love a good challenge and working at the Social House has given me the opportunity to adapt to ever-changing circumstances, whether facing the struggles with the pandemic to navigating life with two young boys. Sometimes I wonder how I managed to land such a great, fun and rewarding job surrounded by amazing people. If you ever want to chat about events, programming or just life in general, I would love to add you to my list of wonderful people I met in Chappelle Gardens.
