Background
I was born in Montreal, Quebec. I have lived in the West Island all my life, in Beaconsfield.
Interests, Activities, and Plans
For the past year I have worked as a nanny during the summer and a ski instructor during the winter. When I am not in school or working, I like to ski and play golf. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My sister is my best friend and my biggest influence.
Upon the completion of my degree at McGill, I would like to travel abroad for a year. Perhaps teach English as a second language in South-east Asia. When I return, I hope to find a job as a high school teacher in the West Island.
My main professional objective is to be a teacher that can identify with her students. As a teacher, I hope to encourage students to apply their learning to real life situations. I hope to teach my students of social justice issues and to be critical thinkers of the media.
Other Interesting Things
I am very interested in traveling. This summer I spent a month backpacking in Europe, where I visited France, Switzerland, Italy, and Greece. I think travelling is one of the best learning experiences. Next summer I hope to return to Europe and travel Eastern Europe for three months.
Favorite Places in Webspace
One of my favourite sites is Stumble Upon, it is very easy-to-use and can link you to websites that match your interests.
If you are a teenaged girl then Tobi is a good website for online clothing shopping.
If you want to know of events happening in Montreal, then Evenko is a good site to refer to. It has information on upcoming concerts, comedy shows, sports games, exposees, etc.
