What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to help others outside of my full-time career.

I am a dedicated educator with a Bachelor of Education in Concurrent Education and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Integrated Studies, specializing in French and History. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating engaging and innovative lesson plans that not only promote language acquisition but also instill a passion for learning among my students.

Outside of work, I am interested in fitness, cooking, and any household skills.
