CURRENT MISSION

My goal now is to find ways to make real my ideas about education because I am a French as a second language teacher for immigrants in Montréal. Also, I try to enjoy any moment of beauty in that world ... and sometimes you need imagination fot that!

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going person, quiet and enjoying to meet people. I love travelling, cooking, seing art exhibitions. In order to keep a balance in my live, I do outdoors activities: biking, swimming, hiking, skiing, etc. I try to see movies or plays as much as I can: culture is my basic food! I am very busy with my work.

PHILOSOPHY

Listning people and trying to understand them!
