A French Canadian Origin that started as an international attorney in Europe, they moved to the Canadian foreign affairs and the United Nations, mainly HCR and UNICEF, in the area of child protection and humanitarian work, around the world for over 15 years. Her last mission was in Africa with her young son which led them to move back to Florida in 2013 to set up one of the only school aged licensed after school program in Broward in 2014. During COVID, the center extended its program to e-learning children. This brought the idea of opening a small scale private school for K-3 children who want to achieve their highest potential in an international setting.
