I started working for CASS in 2019 and began my involvement with Human Services as a day support worker. Working solely in the community provided me with extensive opportunities to work with a multitude of insightful and inspiring people. Although my background is in Criminal Justice, working with those with disabilities has given me a new outlook on individuals who are more often ostracized and face numerous barriers which limit their growth. CASS continuously provides a plethora of opportunities to work in a number of sectors and allow employees such as myself flourish and learn more from our co-workers and candidates each day. Working with CAES provides the incredibly rewarding task of helping our candidates successfully grow into strong willed employees for a number of business throughout the city.
If I’m not working, you will find me at home playing video games far too late into the night, hanging out with my two dogs and three cats, or camping during those warm summer months.
I’m am thankful to begin my journey with the CAES department as a Career Consultant and hope to reach the goal of ensuring all are successful in their journey through the workforce while continuously promoting our candidates to be the best versions of themselves.
As a member of the CAES team, my goal is to continue to utilize my education, knowledge and experience to assist individuals gain and retain meaningful employment, as well as promote the growth of diverse and inclusive workplaces.

I started my journey with CASS back in 2021 during the pandemic with another CASS program, CADO. Being a community support worker during such a wild time in the world was definitely a challenge, but I feel as though I got to experience a very new and unique way of learning and supporting individuals in the community.
After I completed a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Justice Studies, it became very clear to me that I wanted to work with individuals facing barriers within society. I started my professional journey working in foster care, and from there, moved into working with both adults and children with disabilities. I developed a true passion for working alongside adults with disabilities and I was very eager to move from a community support role to an employment services role. This is when my journey with CAES started and I could not be more excited!
When I’m not in the office, you can find me sitting in my gaming chair at home playing video games way past my bedtime. When the video games get boring, I am almost always snuggled up on the couch with my partner and my dogs, out visiting my family, or out in Sundre where I have a tent trailer and some dirt bikes in a cozy little camping spot.

Hi, I’m Brock, and I’m a Diversity and Engagement Consultant with CAES. I have worked in the human services sector since 2007 in various support and supervisory roles throughout Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan. My career has introduced me to people from all walks of life, and my purpose in work is to help others lead rich, fulfilling lives. I have worked with individuals experiencing a wide range of conditions including chronic illness, addiction, and the effects of poverty, always with the intent to help others build the lives they want to live. At CAES, I strive to help individuals develop their skills and realize their goals in the workplace and beyond. Outside of the office, you can find me at the gym or on the hiking trails enjoying Alberta’s beautiful landscapes. I am a musician and a DJ and I love all animals, my two cats Salome and Lorelei most of all.

I have always felt compelled to work with marginalized people- I believe that to really help others reach their full potential you must walk beside them, not in front of them.
When we remove barriers between candidates and employment we can open up opportunities for people who otherwise become lost in the process.

Assistant Program Coordinator
Sarah Clark Bio
I began working in the non-profit field soon after completing my Social Work Diploma in 2016 and discovering my passion for advocacy and breaking barriers. My experience ranges from working as a coordinator at an adult day program supporting individuals to engage in meaningful daily activities, to assisting unemployed Albertans with diverse backgrounds and expertise to successfully obtain employment. I understand all individuals have unique interests, skill-sets, and expertise and consistently operate from a strength based perspective and person centered approach. I know finding employment is not always easy, but I hope to empower those I work with by providing ongoing encouragement and guidance, helping them to recognize the skills they have, and assisting them to retain employment through advocacy and promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion. I’m happy to be at CAES and look forward to continuing to support individuals to be the best version of themselves and reach their potential.
When not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs, doing puzzles, reading, Zumba, trying new food, and watching reality TV.
