Kelli Stevens (she/her) is a part-time instructor of an undergraduate social work program and a full-time manager at the Suncor Energy Foundation. She finds it important to regularly test (and be tested on!) her beliefs about making change from within a system. At home, Kelli is a daughter, sister, caregiver, foster parent, and friend. She was initially shaped by a remote community in northern Alberta, and later re-shaped by extensive travel, work with a youth gang prevention program, and many other experiences that have all required her to understand that things can be both opposite and true.
