@nahlabekhouche
I support students, families, and multicultural communities through multilingual communication, administration, and cross-cultural coordination.
What I'm looking for
I've supported students with special needs at Durham District School Board and helped teachers and families communicate progress and coordinate support strategies. I currently volunteer as an interpreter with the Red Cross in Benidorm, assisting newly arrived people and refugees in sensitive situations.
Across Algeria, Canada, and Spain, I've combined education support, administration, client relations, and Spanish/French interpreting. I bring native Arabic and French, fluent English, and advanced Spanish to admissions, family relations, student services, and school administration.
