About BANA

Luciana Rosu Sieza, BA. Honors

I am a mother, a wife, a leader, an educator and a motivator with a GREAT passion for life. I was born in Romania and lived in Montreal, QC for some of my childhood years. I have spent the majority of my life in Windsor- a community that is diverse and has so much to offer. I graduated from the University of Windsor in Psychology with a minor in French.

I started at BANA over 11 years ago as the Health Promotion Manager (prevention), which is an area that I am extremely passionate about. In 2012, I was appointed as the Interim Executive Director at BANA. It is a privilege to be in this position and to work with the amazing board, staff, funders and community partners who are all so dedicated to this important work. I sit on a number of committees, which allows me to engage and learn more about our community.

I am married to Tony and have 2 children Gabriela and Antonio who are my world. I love to travel and see the world from my own lens. I enjoy going for walks and spending time with family and friends. I value the community I live in and try to make a difference whenever and whenever I can.

Erin Flannery, MSc, MSW, RSW

A Windsor native, I graduated from the University of Windsor with a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Biological Sciences and Psychology.  After moving on to receive a Masters in Science and completing a few years in the workforce,  I went back to school and graduated from Wayne State University with a Masters of Social Work, specializing in Cognitive  Behavioural Therapy as my interpersonal practice of choice.  I began my career as a social worker in 2016 as the staff counsellor at Family Services Windsor Essex, where I also operated as the outreach and group coordinator for the counselling program.  During this time, I was given the incredible opportunity to work with both Windsor Pride and W.E. Trans Support Center providing their outreach counselling services.  In addition to my career as a mental health counsellor, I have been a member of the Canadian Armed Forces with the Royal Canadian Navy since 2007. At the rank of Petty Officer Second Class, I currently hold the position as my units’ training chief, positive space ambassador and sexual harassment educator & coordinator.

I arrived at BANA in January 2020 as a clinical social worker.  I am grateful to be working with such a strong and passionate team.  I look forward to what the future brings for me with this new opportunity.
