Raised in East Vancouver, growing up not far from the DTES and calling the DTES home for over a decade until last year when she moved up on Cambie Street.

BeeLee has been part of the #StopTheSweeps Coalition and has supported Pivot’s work through social media, press releases, and her own grassroots work and advocacy. BeeLee is also motivated to shine a light on police injustices such as excessive force and brutality as well as passionate about changing current drug policy. This will be BeeLee’s third year sitting on the board of directors at Pivot. She is looking forward to being more involved this year. BeeLee also served on the Executive Board of The Coalition of Peers for three years from 2019-2023. Three of those years in the capacity of Vice President.

Earlier on in her life, BeeLee spent six years working in healthcare, as a Laboratory Technician for LifeLabs.

Currently, she is the site manager for a unique harm reduction site in the DTES. It services inhalation, iv use and also serves as a drinkers lounge.

She credits this program for saving her life and allowing her to stabilize and reach her goals.
