About Your Instructor

Hi, I'm Ali Ryder

They call me a HIFIS Goddess

I guess you could say I'm the world's leading expert on HIFIS 4. I run ACRE Consulting and have been helping communities make the most of it since 2016.

I do other things too, like travel and play ultimate frisbee, but mostly I'm a big nerd that's good with computers and likes explaining stuff. I've been working in the homelessness sector since I got my Master's degree in social planning in 2012. Now I'm a coach with the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness.

So, you're in good hands! I'll walk you through the ins and outs of what you need to know about HIFIS so you can spend most of your time actually helping the people who need your help the most.
