years of professional experience

Aspiring to work with Indigenous students in a community-based school environment, I am bilingual in French and English, with a background in psychology and early childhood education, including school internship experience. I have experience working with children, families, and Indigenous communities, as well as personal experience that has given me a deeper understanding of autism and the diverse needs of children. I am caring, patient, and attentive, and committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment.
