Bio

In April 2024 I completed my undergraduate Honours Bachelor of Arts Degree with a Major in French and a Minor in Psychology from Lakehead University. As part of my academic journey, I completed a French literature thesis, exploring themes encompassing epistolary writing, grief, and identity: Deuil et reconstruction identitaire: Le Bruit des clefs d'Anne Goscinny. This scholarly endeavour not only honed my research and analytical skills but also deepened my appreciation for the complexities of human processes and interpersonal connections. Beyond the classroom, I am driven by a passion for educational leadership and systemic impact. I aspire to shape the future of education not just within a single learning environment, but across institutions and communities. Whether through policy, program development, or research-informed leadership, I am committed to reimagining how education can be inclusive, empowering, and adaptable to a rapidly evolving world.
