Elaine "WonderWoman" Reid - Toronto

My name is Elaine Reid affectionately known as Wonder Woman and Super G. I was born in Jamaica and migrated to Canada at the tender age of 17 and is now retired after working for the Provincial Government at the Workplace Safety Insurance Board for 35 years. 

My love for music was embedded in me at an early age by my family that were musically inclined and it allowed me the opportunity to start collecting vinyl records in 1973 and has had the opportunity to have played on internet radio networks such as Reggae World Music, Collectors Korner Now, and NYMLA.

I am a believer in promoting a “team” approach within any organization. Over the years my working experience has allowed me the experience in keeping teams focused, motivated and on target to meet deadlines. In chatting with members of VRCA, I must acknowledge that it should be fun to be part of a positive and highly motivated organization and team.  I am sure my strong interpersonal skills will enable me to develop and identify untapped potential opportunities.

I also consider myself to be a passionate community servant with the ability to motivate and inspire individuals in identifying their potential to continue and share the passion of music and serve others. With this ongoing quest to give, I have been able to promote significant, positive change in communities and individuals through advocacy, empowered by compassion. I take pride in engaging in a civically based approached to community building as I committed to a life-long service based on personal and professional experiences.

I have grown to be familiar with a striving mindset based on a strong foundation built on people values. These brief but significant attributes have naturally inspired me to become a voice to the voiceless and a beacon of hope to the hopeless.

I seek to become a strong and strategic team player empowered by my peers as a Member of VRCA, motivated by a passion driven through innovation towards amazing successes.
