Hello! My name is Melissa

Hi everyone! My name is Melissa. I thought I should introduce myself also (good idea Natalie!) I am also 22 years old and I am going to university to become a teacher. This is the first time I have worked as a Youth Facilitator and so far it's been lots of fun!

I speak English, French and a very small amount of Spanish, and I have travelled to these countries: US, England, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Austria. There are many other places that I want to go to though! Some of my favorite things to do include making art, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and reading.

Natalie and I will be posting information about the program on here so be sure to check for updates! If you want, you can choose to follow our blog, so that when you sign in, you can see right away if there have been updates. Also please feel free to comment on our posts!
