< Back Rishvita Narine Program Supervisor Archbishop Anthony Meagher Catholic Continuing Education Certified PSW Previous Rishvita, more commonly known as Artee, has had a passion for helping others from a young age. However, it was the experience of watching her parents battle cancer and ultimately losing them that solidified her resolve to pursue a career in caregiving. Their journey inspired her to become a Personal Support Worker. As a Program Supervisor, you can count on Artee to bring her positive energy and readiness to jump into work every day. Her proactive approach can be seen in her innovative programming and in the engaging atmosphere she creates. Whether she is leading a program, helping members with personal care, or developing new programming, we can always count on her to get the job done. Next
