Paula Lacsena

Multidisciplinary Writer & Communications Manager

Canada

I'm a Toronto-based multidisciplinary writer with a passion for building engaged and informed communities through effective communications.

Purpose-driven and creative with a versatile freelance background, I have lent my skills to both local and international non-profits, start-ups, and corporations in areas such as health and wellness, children and youth education, hospitality, and marketing over the past three years.

At present, I work as a Communications Manager at Kids Physio Group, merging my growing interest in pediatric health with my long-standing love for education, community building, and storytelling.
