Our Coaches

Hi! I am Kirstin McSween and I have been the program manager for MHCB Vegreville since 2017. You can find me based out of Vegreville Composite. I love my job as I am very passionate about mental health, so I feel very fortunate that I get to work with kids and help teach them the skills to promote positive mental health. 

In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my daughter, family and friends or cuddling on the couch with my pets. 

  Hello! My name is Dylan Vadnais (they/he), and I am the Wellness Coach for A. L. Horton Elementary. You may recognise me from MHCB summer programming, or maybe we haven’t met yet! I’ve spent the last 4 years working in peer support and mental health in the non-profit sector and am super passionate about supporting mental wellness for youth and their communities. 

In my spare time, I like to play Dungeons & Dragons (and other tabletop/board games), work on one of my many crafting projects, and spend time with family and friends.

  Hello! My name is Maida DiNicola (she/her), and I am the MHCB Wellness Coach for St. Martin’s Elementary and St. Mary’s Highschool. As a Wellness Coach, my goal is to create safe, inclusive spaces for all students, staff, and community members to learn and grow. For me, this means promoting positive mental health practices and fostering supportive, collaborative relationships. 

Outside of work you may find me birdwatching around Edmonton or playing Pokémon Go (or both).
