ABOUT ME

I'm a student who loves living in her hometown of Montreal and would love to show anyone who is interested everything I know about the city. Also, I love learning about other cultures, histories, adventures and just about anything someone else wants to teach me.

PHILOSOPHY

"The strands of such knowledge we take in are like threads of the world running one way and threads of life running the other way. We take these crossing threads and weave them into the every-changing fabric of the thing we call our self, a fabric and a pattern that are always in formation, never complete, never â

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a one week trip to Korea paid for by the Korean government who wanted to teach grandchildren of Korean war veterans from different nations about the war their grandparents fought in.

We got to go out at night after various education outings and I will always think it was amazing to be dancing to American pop music in an Irish Pub in Korea drinking a Pina Colada with people from all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about my hometown as well as my country. I love reading, writing and am very skilled in less practical fields like writing critical responses to poetry. I try to keep updated on current events and involved in the community. I think students and teachers never really know what they can learn about each other until they start sharing knowledge so we'll see what I can share and learn!
