What is your favorite travel memory?

I have a lot of good memories, and I find that most travelers are not able to pick just one. I feel like the most intense thing that I always remember about my trips is when I find somewhere quiet to just listen to nature. It always makes me feel small, but yet so happy and free. That is the best.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I feel like I know a lot more about how to manage stress. We have an intense period of work during the summer and I feel proud of myself and the different activities that we have done. I expect a bit more of myself now.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

I love to hear about the people that come here to study French in Quebec and know that they are challenging themselves to do so. One lady was really shy at the beginning but she got a representative tattoo of Quebec because she liked her trip so much!

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would do the super intensive program for adults because the students are truly wonderful and the activities always vary. You still have your independence while doing this program.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

The people working with us really make a big difference. They are all big-hearted, so it really makes a difference in the way the company is run. The students also feel listened to and taken care of.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Being kind and make sure that your team is working together makes a big difference.
