Introducing ICA’s Newest Team Members

Every staff member at ICA plays an important role in supporting immigrants and refugees and creating a vibrant, welcoming community. 

Hello! I’m Anislene Tavares, originally from Brazil. I moved to Canada with my husband and two teenagers in February 2024 as an International Student. I’m passionate about learning new skills and using them to make a positive impact. With over a decade of experience teaching English as a Second Language, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for education and connection. I hold a degree in Translation, a postgraduate certificate in communication, and I’m currently working on my MA in Environment and Management. My greatest lessons, however, have come from life itself. If I had to choose one phrase that defines me, it would be: “always be a learner”.

Hello, I am Amrita, driven by a passion for creating inclusive and empowering environments, I serve as a Volunteer Coordinator at the Inter-Cultural Association (ICA), supporting diverse communities. With over 10 years of experience as an L&D Consultant, Certified Life Coach, and Human Capital Specialist, I specialize in human resources, focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, volunteer engagement, and organizational development. I believe collaboration and understanding among diverse backgrounds are crucial for building resilient communities. Beyond professional commitments, I am passionate about promoting the well-being of both humans and the planet, harmonizing my love for nature with a dedication to sustainable and meaningful change in every role I embrace.

Hello, I am Anna, born and raised in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Growing up as the child of South Asian immigrants, I have seen firsthand the challenges and successes that come with adapting to a new country and this experience has helped shape my own identity. Combined with my own lived experience, I have a passion for working with and supporting diverse communities.
With a background as a Social Worker and a Personal Career Coach, I am excited to join ICA and offer support to those I work with and help navigate their unique journeys. I am dedicated to creating inclusive environments where everyone feels valued and heard. I believe that growth begins with recognizing what you want and finding the path to achieve it. Outside of work, I love exercising, especially walking which supports my mental well being. I am also a proud parent of two children and a dog who keep my life full of joy.

Hello! I’m Shradha Nanda, originally from India, and my journey in Canada began as an international student. With a background in psychology, I’ve dedicated over two years to working with diverse communities, striving to make a positive impact. My passion for supporting others drives me to connect with people from all walks of life, helping them navigate and thrive in their new environments. Outside of work, I find joy in going on walks, hiking, paddle boarding, painting, and indulging in a good Netflix binge. Joining the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria, I’m excited to continue my mission of aiding immigrants and refugees in their integration process, using my skills and experiences to foster a welcoming and supportive community.
