Name: Lea Bautista
Title: Settlement and Outreach Worker
Tell us a bit about your background: I have a degree in Science with a major in Information Technology from the
|
|
University of the Cordilleras in the Philippines. In the Philippines, I worked as a secretary in a local government office for almost 10 years. I have been in Canada for five years, and it has been a challenge for me to find a job that I love doing. I have been looking for not just a job, but a position where I’m helping others and making friends at the same time. This is it!
What do you wish for this academic year? For every student to reach their goals and to be successful in their lives.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my kids, canvas painting, knitting with my daughter with the help of YouTube, and tending to my plants.
