Roxine Plummer
A native of Mississauga, Ontario, Roxine is a graduate of McMaster University where she studied Geography with a specialization in Geographic Information Systems to pursue a career in urban planning. Her plans immediately changed in her senior year after having observed the social stratification of rich and poor classes on her field trip to Los Angeles. Alarmed at neighbourhoods riddled with crime and poverty, she adopted a new worldview as her passion and love for humanity grew.
She now aspires to be a leader in public service where she can advance public interest and bring about the possibilities of transformation to some of the world’s most brutal realities. She believes that no other career can be more rewarding than serving the community and the world. The public service chose me, she states. Almost every job that I’ve ever had has been in the helping profession, and I realize now that during those times, I was truly happy.
Apart from interning with Sunny Lam Associates Consulting, Roxine is an active member of Amnesty International Canada. Roxine enjoys travelling, graphic design, watching movies, strumming her guitar, discovering new music, and writing poetry in her free time.
