Staff & Board of Directors

SSAIC Staff

Reagan Conway (she/her)

Executive Director | BA Women and Gender Studies

I was born and raised in Saskatoon and am passionate about community work and giving back. I enjoy spending time with my husband and stepson, gardening, and being outside. My dog Oscar enjoys being out there with me and will helpfully dig holes; my cat Maymont just likes laying in the sun. Football is also one of my favorites, and I force my husband to watch every Rider game with me.

Prior to coming to SSAIC, some of my work experience includes counselling with Meewasinota CRF Ltd, coordination work at the Youth Wellness Centre, Street Outreach Worker with SHA, Addictions Counselor for Alberta Health Services, and a Program Manager at the Oak Hill Boys Ranch. Most recently, I held the position of Program Manager at Quint Development where I supported residents, managed staff, and looked after the daily operations of two transition homes.

I am looking forward to being able to align my education and work and finally return to my first passion of gender equity. I’m very excited to work with the team at SSAIC to address gender-based violence in our community.

Megan (she/her)

Client Services Coordinator | RSW, BSW, BA

I am a Registered Social Worker and have been working at SSAIC since 2011. I previously worked in a residential setting for survivors of childhood sexual abuse and was initially hired to develop specialized programming for survivors of child sexual abuse. I have experience in public education, prevention work, and individual and group counselling.

I’m passionate about creating and providing services that are trauma informed, client-centered, and serve all people who have been impacted by sexualized violence in our community. I find self-care in my garden, good books, and time with family and friends.

Morgan (she/they)

Education & Outreach Coordinator | RSW, BSW, BA

Since joining SSAIC in 2018, I’ve had the privilege of growing through several roles — first as a practicum student, then as part of the client services team, and now as a proud member of our education and outreach department since February 2020. I’m a Registered Social Worker deeply committed to authenticity, connection, and meaningful change.

Whether I’m supporting individuals through one-on-one counselling or sparking dialogue in group settings and public education, I’m continually energized by those moments when new ideas take flight, solutions emerge through creativity, and understanding clicks into place. Witnessing those “light-bulb” realizations is nothing short of magical.

Working at SSAIC allows me to contribute to a survivor-focused, sex-positive, anti-racist, feminist, and anti-oppressive organization — one that’s always evolving and striving to do better. These values shape every aspect of our work and create space for healing and connection.

As a settler on Treaty 6 Territory and Homeland of the Métis, I honour the original peoples of this land and continue learning through those relationships. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to every client, participant, and attendee I’ve met through SSAIC — you’ve all taught me more than you know.

Sarah (they/them)

Counsellor | RSW, BSW

I joined the SSAIC counselling team in August 2019. I am a registered Social Worker with a Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Regina. I was employed as a research and teaching assistant at the U of R, and was included in seven publications. I am certified in Reality Therapy/Choice Theory and am also trained in Motivational Interviewing. 

I have done a great deal of front line work with vulnerable folks living in poverty and struggling with addictions. I have worked as a Family Therapist with the Ranch Ehrlo Society, sessional instructor at Sask Polytechnic in the Victim Services program, and as a Caseworker at the John Howard Society. I managed the Diversion and Outreach Program at Parent Aide prior to joining the team at SSAIC. 

I was born and raised in Melfort, Saskatchewan. I called Regina home for 15 years until love brought me to Saskatoon. I’m currently trying to work my way through my list of restaurants to try, and going birding. I spend a lot of my free time with my three dogs and two birds.  I’m really interested in starting yoga and am planning on taking some ceramics classes this winter. I also LOVE to travel. 

Joelle (she/her)

Counsellor | RSW, BSW

I started working at SSAIC in November 2020 as part of the counselling team. I’ve always enjoyed working in the helping professions; I had done a lot of informal counselling in previous employment roles and when I saw an opportunity to move into a formal counselling role I was very excited.

I am now living on Treaty 6 Territory, but grew up on Treaty 4 Territory. Although I miss the quiet open spaces of rural living, I have definitely come to appreciate all of the amenities of the city. I love working in such a warm and caring environment at SSAIC. Everyone here is so kind, welcoming, and compassionate. I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of such a great team of individuals.

Three of my most favourite things are:

• My bulldog, Gunner: I love coming home to his squishy face and wiggly butt each day! Cuddles with him are my favourite self-care activity.
• Fall: I love the colours, the smells, and the crisp air. Drinking a coffee or reading a good book on the deck in the fall is my jam.
• Seeing and hearing the growth of our clients. When someone says “I did ‘x’ today which is something I wasn’t able to do before” it makes me so happy.

Jen (she/her)

Counsellor | RSW, BSW

I began working at SSAIC in 2020, initially with the education team before moving to the counselling team in 2023. I am a Registered Social Worker and hold memberships with the CASW, SASW, and IS-ART.

I work with individuals of all genders, ages 12 and up, offering compassionate, client-centered support for a wide range of concerns related to trauma, violence, and emotional well-being. At the core of my work is a trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-oppressive lens that centers survivors as the experts of their own lives. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where survivors feel believed, heard, respected, and empowered to heal.

I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an eye-movement therapy that I am pleased to offer to clients when it aligns with their needs and goals. I have also completed specialized training in Counselling Adult Survivors of Sexual Violence through the Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services. I integrate psychoeducation and trauma processing to help survivors navigate the lasting impacts of trauma, with an emphasis on building safety, reducing shame, processing difficult memories, and fostering a deeper sense of connection and self-trust.

I believe that healing from sexual violence is possible, and I find inspiration, meaning, and joy in my work. My practice honours each individual’s pace and innate wisdom, supporting them as they reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their voices, and regain a sense of safety and wholeness as they move forward on their healing path.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy a quiet existence centered around love, respect, authenticity, and meaningful connection with those closest to me. I adore spending time with my family and our beloved 15-year-old springer spaniel, Murphy, curling up with a good book or film/series and a ball of yarn, and tending to my growing collection of plants.

Francie (she/her)

Intake Counsellor

I started my work at SSAIC in April 2024. Currently, I am also a Registered Massage Therapist, Birth/Postpartum Doula, and student at First Nations University. I am a settler to Treaty 6 Territory, and descended from Indigenous ancestry in Wind River, Wyoming. 

I have owned my clinical practice as a RMT and Doula since 2009 supporting hundreds of pregnancies, children, and families throughout their continuum of life. Following graduation from studying Compassionate Inquiry, I was invited to continue my education with a degree in Indigenous Social Work. Aside from academics, my studies weave together community engagement and intensive ceremonial experiences. I am the first in my field to begin developing counselling-integrated bodywork as a registered psychotherapeutic approach. I practice Trauma-Informed therapy in person, and virtually, walking with people as they discover deeper connection, embodiment, and purpose.

I love the way SSAIC affirms the power of each person to live their life. It is a space that recognizes the wholeness in each person including our gifts and foibles. My favourite aspect of SSAIC is the emphasis on education and supporting individuals to become informed. Knowledge is power! Outside of work I love hula hoop dancing to Hip-Hop and am an Ambiturner, but left is my fave jam!

Jada (she/her)

Intake Counsellor | RSW, BSW

I first joined the SSAIC team as a practicum student in 2023. I then completed my Bachelor of Social Work Degree and am now continuing my work at SSAIC as an intake counsellor and contributing time to the Education and Outreach department.  

I was first drawn to SSAIC because of my love for being around people and helping them. Once I began my own counselling, I realized it was something I was passionate about. I then started my practicum at SSAIC and felt like it was all the things I loved learning about and being able to support people with. I love working at SSAIC because I am always learning something new and love the supportive work environment. 

Honestly, there is not much people don’t know about me, I tend to talk about anything going on in my life. A few of my passions outside of work are skating, photography, and travelling.

Ashley (she/her)

Education & Outreach Youth Programs Assistant | BA Sociology

I began volunteering with SSAIC’s I’m the Boss of Me program in 2018, and that experience completely shifted my path — I moved away from nursing to focus on abuse prevention, vulnerable youth, family dynamics, and addictions. I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 2023 and officially joined SSAIC’s Education & Outreach team in 2022.

Being part of SSAIC means working within a survivor-focused, sex-positive, anti-racist, and feminist organization that is always learning, evolving, and striving to do better. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a supportive and values-driven community.

As a settler living with gratitude on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis, I deeply honour the original peoples of this land and remain committed to ongoing learning through those relationships. I’m also truly grateful to every client, participant, and attendee I’ve met through SSAIC — you’ve all impacted me in more ways than I can express.

Outside of work, I’m very family-oriented and juggle a busy life around my bonus child and niblings — it’s a lot, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Brooklynn (she/her)

Education & Outreach Assistant & Intake Counsellor | BA Psychology

I am grateful to have been born and raised on Treaty 6 Territory, homeland of the Metis. I choose to honour Treaty 6 land by respecting and acknowledging the past and the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit communities that first called this land home. I was a student at the University of Saskatchewan for the past 4 and a half years through which I obtained a Bachelor of Arts with a Psychology Major, Sociology Minor and a Certificate in Queer Theory, Gender Diversity, and Sexualities Studies. I feel only gratitude that I get to begin my journey in this field with SSAIC and hope to only contribute my best going forward. I think that the services and values that SSAIC provides to the community is extremely important. Once I had learned about who and what SSAIC was all about, I knew I would love nothing more than to be a part of their work and vision.

I think that education is a crucial component to this type of work. I love that not only is it our job to inform others on the important topic of sexualized violence, but that we also learn as we go as well, attending seminars and training. By doing so this strengthens our abilities to support and educate others. I believe that the work being done at SSAIC really does make a difference in the community. I am extremely grateful to be a part of such an amazing organization with incredible people looking to offer support and information on such a necessary topic. A passion that I hold dear to my heart outside of work is travelling! Not only do I love getting to my destination but I also find a lot of joy in planning the trip itself.

Merianne (she/her)

Office Manager | BSW

I started my work at SSAIC in July 2024, I am currently a Bachelor of Social Work student at the University of Regina! In my past work and volunteer experience I have supported a variety of people of different ages and walks of life, I’d like to continue doing so at SSAIC and as a future social worker!

Growing up I was faced with obstacles posed by injustices in society and saw those around me who were experiencing the same. I hope to make a change and offer support I wished I had access to. This led to my interest in becoming a social worker and to SSAIC! I love that SSAIC recognizes the importance of education and actively strives to help the community be more informed on sexualized violence. I believe that the more knowledgeable people are, the more aware they will be of themselves and the world around them, leading to more adequate prevention of sexualized violence in the present and future.

I have a pomsky puppy named Solar that has been keeping us very busy with all their energy. A passion I have outside of work is reading and writing. I grew up spending my time escaping to other worlds and still do to this day. I became inspired by these stories and eventually started writing myself. While many of these stories will never see the light of day, I hope to one day write a novel about a fantastical world of my own!
