Judy Lee

Hello, I am Judy, and welcome to my homepage!  I am an immigrant from Hong Kong and I came to Canada in 1992.  Gambling has been a significant part of my cultural background.  In my birthplace, it is common to see family and friends gather together and gamble for entertainment.  Since 1998, I have worked in the gambling industry in different positions, including as a card dealer, trainer, casino support person, and now, I work as a Prevention and Community Engagement Provider in Vancouver.  

​

My educational background is Philosophy, Criminology, and Social Work. My academic interests include Prostitution Law in Canada, Community Engagement through the Intersectionality Lens, harm reduction practices, and Sex Workers’ Rights Advocacy.  I consider myself to be an empathetic person who is curious about how other people view the world, and I am privileged to have the opportunity to work with many wonderful individuals in the community. 

​

Motherhood shapes my worldview immensely as the COVID-19 pandemic and related safety measures dictate how I move through my day and interact with others. My concern for the safety of my family, and especially the older adults, is heightened during this challenging time.  I have also found that through the lens as a mother, I view digital media (TV, smartphones, computers, etc.) with a much more critical eye that’s concerned with the wellbeing of my child who is a teenager spending lots of time interacting with her peers for school and for social interaction.

Some snapshots of my moments!
