Hello my name is Stéphanie and I am a born and raised Montrealer. Currently I am an undergraduate student at Concordia University. It is my fourth year, majoring in community art education. I love my field of study because I am passionate about fostering the creative potential of children. My experience with children comes from working privately as a babysitter and also in professional settings. These include academic practicums in schools and community centers as a student teacher, as well as animating activities at summer camps. I have also had the opportunity to work with children who have intellectual handicaps of varying degrees. I am sensitive to special needs. References available upon request.
