Projects
Extra Mile Center (SCHOLARS) is an educational initiative I founded to create engaging, accessible learning resources in math, grammar, and language for young learners and under‑resourced schools. The project builds international partnerships to share best practices, integrates student voice into program design, and fosters purpose and belonging among learners. By combining advising, accelerated coursework, and career‑connected learning, it equips students with practical skills for success. My bilingual ability in English and French strengthens outreach and collaboration, expanding the project’s impact across diverse communities.
