More details about your skills

Through my studies at UBC I gained a wide range of knowledge and practical skills, notably in the areas of leadership and communication. I completed my bachelors degree in the summer of 2023 and shortly after completed a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification, where I found my passion for teaching. I worked as a lifeguard most summers during university before I began working in donor relations for Canadian charities including Nature Canada and the BC Cancer Foundation. I am a hard working and flexible team player with a great attitude and an adventurous spirit!
