Bio
I am passionate about travelling, adventure, helping others in need and teaching. It brings me much joy when someone can experience something new & amazing because of something I could do for them.
I have worked as a clinical psychologist for 25 years, therefore helping is my purpose in life. Teaching on the sideline has always provided me with much joy and fulfilment. I love opening up a world of possibilities to students through teaching, especially a new world in French.
