Cultural Diversity Experience:
I have extensive experience dealing with clients of diverse cultural background. During my undergraduate studies, I volunteered as a Conversation Club Facilitator for the Robert Lee YMCA on an ongoing basis for a period of almost 2 years. In that role, I helped newcomer strengthen their English-speaking skills while also learning about the different aspects of life in Canada. I also volunteered as a Settlement Mentor of Immigration Services Society of BC for a year. In that role, I met with newcomers once a week to provide them with the emotional and psychological support they need to help them cope with the stress of transitioning into their new community. More recently, I articled at an immigration law firm where I assisted clients, from all around the world, with their application to migrate to Canada.
