Austria López (She/Her)

Community Engagement Coordinator - Watson Lake
Coordination communautaire à Watson Lake

My name is Austria López, my pronouns are She/Her. I was born and raised in Mexico City, with my mother and siblings.

​When I reached adulthood I had the opportunity to undertake the adventure that would change my life and brought me to Watson Lake. Here I discovered and accepted myself as a lesbian, I found love in the company of my girlfriend, I met my best friends, 5 dogs that share their lives and heart with me.

Today I have the enormous opportunity to work at the Yukon Pride Centre and be part of a team that seeks to help the LGBTQIA2S+ community by creating a physical place where we can find resources, programs and support not only in Whitehorse but also in Dawson City and Watson lake. Excited to continue working with this team on this adventure.
