Recordkeeping and reporting
Music, Sports, Studying, Outdoors & Camping.
I have been creating and working with music since I was in high-school, pursued my studies in College towards Music and opened a studio in Montreal, Canada. I enjoy a wide variety of sports that include, Archery, Basket-Ball, Soccer, Hiking and Swimming.
Always strive for learning something new, or to increase my knowledge in a certain field of interest, studying new fields and trying new opportunities are very motivating and a strong part of my inspiration to work abroad.
Back when I was in Elementary School, I would regularly go camping with one of my friend's families, which led me to love the outdoors. Always wanting to be outside, I was put in a summer camp later on and developped a passion for these communities.
