The Face of CPABC

Cerebral Palsy Association of British Columbia is run by a team of dedicated, compassionate staff. Some work full-time, many work part-time, but all of them work diligently to get the most out of the funding we get to benefit those living with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Many times, they are the first point of contact between the Association and our beneficiaries and is the face of CPABC.

Director of Operations - Denzil Muncherji

Denzil is a recent addition to the not-for-profit world. In 2017, she graduated with a BA in Anthropology and certificate in not-for-profit studies. She began working for the CPABC in 2018 as her first industry job. Starting as Programs Coordinator and working her way to Director of Operations, Denzil focuses on creating and implementing programs, while keeping in contact with the membership to assess and answer needs.

A true pluviophile at heart, Denzil is happiest when it rains and she enjoys playing ultimate and going for walks in this weather. She enjoys skiing in the winter, golfing and camping in the summer, and going for trivia nights all year round! Going an unconventional route, her family has a turtle and a bearded dragon to keep them on their toes!
