I had an amazing experience at Fanshawe, I met wonderful professors who made learning memorable.

Fanshawe College made a profound impact on me, especially considering the circumstances of juggling raising three children, working, and studying simultaneously. The flexibility offered by the college was invaluable, allowing me to balance my responsibilities effectively. Through their placement opportunities, I gained hands-on experience, which not only enriched my learning but also paved the way for securing a full-time job.

What are you up to now?
As an Early Childhood educator, my career journey has been incredibly fulfilling. I began at the London Children Connection and have spent the past 13 years with the London District Catholic School Board. Recently, I achieved a significant milestone by publishing a children’s book titled “The Peaceful Orange Blossom”. This heartwarming story celebrates family bonds, nature, and cultural heritage. It's now available on KDP, and I'm actively promoting it to bookstores.
