Lorreine Stanley | stanley@ocsu.ca

Board Member

I am a Filipino-Canadian, sports enthusiast, experienced in campaigns working for equality, health, and finance. This year has been of unprecedented circumstance, so many places around the globe have created supplementary aid that did not exist previously. I am here to bring awareness to the aid you have as a student. I hope to make your year go smoothly in your academic endeavors and bring awareness of available PRIZES, BURSARIES, free MONEY. – Best Wishes!
