I am pleased to introduce Desta McCalla as the Disability and Accommodation Specialist as of September 26th.

Desta brings a vast range of experience and knowledge to Humber.  Prior to joining Humber, she worked for a disability management firm for the last eight years as a Case Manager and on-site consultant to clients reviewing short-term medical and complex occupational absences in transition to managing accommodation matters. She was involved in the creation of wellness initiatives inclusive of implementing a counselling program to support mental health and the provision of regular information bulletins. She was also responsible for the development and revision of occupational health policy and process while fostering partnerships with healthcare practitioners and Union members. Desta has also held positions with Banyan Work Health Solutions as a Health Management Specialist and an Occupational Health Consultant to a leading legal specialist in worker's compensation.

Desta is a Certified Disability Management Professional and Occupational Health Nurse. She holds an honours degree in Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ryerson University, a diploma in Occupational Health Nursing from a Collaborative program with Ryerson, Humber and George Brown, and a Registered Nursing Diploma from Sheridan College.
