About Me

I graduated from Collège André-Grasset in Montréal last December and I aspire to attend university in September 2019. I studied social science with a special regard to history. Throughout my collegial journey, I took part in many extra-curricular activities related to my field of study such as a Parliamentary Simulation at the National Assembly and a United Nations simulation in New York.

I entertain a special interest for international solidarity. I spent the summer of 2018 in Benin, working with a local organization, Assovie, on children's rights. I am currently involved in the Oxfam-Quebec Youth Observatory whose mandate is to define and promote the participation of the youth in international cooperation.

I would like to study international relations and human rights in university. Additionally, I am interested in humanitarian law, 20th century history and philosophy. I can't wait to attend university and try to satisfy my curiosity. Finally, I dream of pursuing a career in international affairs in order to reduce inequalities among countries.

However, until then, I would like to travel and work abroad. I am very curious and sociable. Learning about diverse cultures in the next months is a important objective for me. Can't wait to meet you and work on your projects in order to mutually share our abilities and experiences.
