YUK FONG CAROL CHAN
Markham,ON
Summary
In December 2023, I completed a 2-year Early Childhood Education diploma at Seneca Polytechnic. Throughout my studies, I gained invaluable hands-on experience in after-school programs, Infants and Toddlers, and Preschool age settings through placement experiences and while working in a supply position at YMCA GTA. I'm eager to secure a permanent role as a CFD Administrative Agent, aiming for a better work-life balance to support my family and career. I am considering furthering my studies in the Honours Bachelor of Child Development as a long-term plan, which would significantly deepen my understanding of child and family development and support my long-term career goals. Moreover, it also enables me to broaden my contributions to the YMCA GTA across various roles and responsibilities.
