I was born and raised in Toronto where I grew up speaking Portuguese at home and English and French at school. I went on to continue my studies of French at the University of Toronto where I graduated with a BA in French Language and Linguistics and a minor in Portuguese. French enabled me to work in various industries, but unhappy in the corporate world, I decided to consider a career in teaching by trying it out first in the area of ESL. Enjoying my experience teaching adults, I decided to stay in the ESL industry and went on to become Academics Director in 2015. After working as an Interim Centre Director in 2022, I decided to pursue new challenges which lead me to English Path. Joining in November of 2023 as the Centre and Academic Manager for Toronto, I am excited for the journey ahead.
