Bonjou, bonsoir, hello! My name is Maureen. I’m an educator exploring literacy and language in formal and informal learning settings. My current goal is to delve into comparative international education with a particular focus on the global south.

I’m calm, curious and open-minded. I love getting lost in a good book and listening to stories while curled up with a cup of tea or coffee. I’m pro stillness, quiet moments of reflection, sun-filled kisses, observing all in motion, stargazing, reveling in delicious foods, breathtaking laughter, the smell of fresh laundry and genuine encounters.

Philosophy: There is no wholeness outside of our reciprocal humanity - Bryan Stevenson
