Hello, I’m Shayna Rivelle Thompson, a licensed Mortgage Agent – Level 1 based in Toronto, originally from Trinidad and Tobago. My journey into the mortgage industry is deeply rooted in creativity, culture, and community. I began my professional path in the vibrant world of Caribbean Carnival arts and entrepreneurship—an experience that taught me the value of dedication, resilience, and hard work from an early age. With a background in visual arts of 16 years and academic studies in African Studies and Sciences, I bring a unique and thoughtful approach to helping clients achieve their homeownership goals. My passion for culture and community continues to shape how I work—with care, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to the people I serve. Over the years, I’ve been honored with awards such as the Woodsworth College 30th Anniversary Alumni Award, the Emma Leckey Memorial Award, the Millie Rotman Shime Award, the Olowolafe Family Award, and the Ubuntu African Studies Award. These recognitions reflect my ongoing work in preserving African and Caribbean diasporic heritage through research and the visual arts, in the western world. Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, or building toward generational wealth, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Your goals are my goals—let’s work together to make them a reality.
