ABOUT CAMH FOUNDATION

Hi! I’m Serina Li Cowley and I’m the Manager, Projects on the Operations team. As a new leader at CAMH Foundation, I’ve been inspired by how teamwork and collaboration bring bold ideas to life. I’m energized by guiding projects from vision to reality and by supporting the work that drives meaningful change.

I believe the key to an excellent full-time, contract (12 months) Project Coordinator is not just the technical skills but the knowledge of the organization’s business, asking the right questions, listening to the answers, and believing in the organization’s mission.

Its role is to help transform the way we understand and address mental illness by raising awareness and increasing engagement across the country. Generous and dedicated supporters help CAMH advance discovery and innovation, build spaces that promote recovery, and break down the stigma of mental illness.

The Operations team (segment: Business Intelligence) is accountable for information management of our donor constituent database and supporting the CAMH Foundation to drive data-led decision-making through data analytics, data mining, data visualization, data tools, and infrastructure.
