ZENWILL SEQUEIRA

“Volunteering provides me with physical and mental rewards. I feel optimism and joy watching clients walk away with a new wardrobe and are so grateful for the help I have provided them. I have a passion to help others and it is truly meaningful to me, that I may have had an impact on another person through my influence and advice.”

Zen Sequeira has lived in Calgary for the past 40 years and worked in the oil and gas industry for many of those years. She first discovered Walk-In Closet/Dress for Success Calgary six years ago, when her company planned a volunteering day to assist with steaming, sorting, and size marking of various slightly used donated clothing, as well as shoes, purses, and personal items. She was hooked!

Zen signed up to be a volunteer and loves every moment of being a stylist where she guides and advises clients, on how to put together a wardrobe and accessories that they may need for attending university, attending interviews, and business clothing for their workplace.
