STAFF SPOTLIGHT:
C
eline joined the IBAO in June. She plays
an important role in the Education
Department.
"I taught at a Montessori School. When it shut
down, I decided it was time to come back to
Canada. I worked in customer service at a speech
language nonprofit, which quickly escalated into
continuing education and adult learning. It was
a wonderful transition for me-I've always loved
helping people learn."
"As Enrollment Coordinator I help students
register for courses, plan continuing education
initiatives and conduct surveys. I enjoy helping
students figure out their path. But I also enjoy
being able to tap into data and get involved in the
research side of things."
Celine's continued her love for teaching by
tutoring students when she's not working at
the IBAO. "I have a student right now who has
special needs. I teach him English and math and
he teaches me martial arts. He's convinced I need
protection from people on the subway."
Born in Vancouver, Celine was raised in Hong
Kong along with her twin brothers, who are five
years her junior. During her time in Hong Kong
she discovered her passion for teaching and
helping people.
In her spare time, Celine enjoys a mix of being
active and taking time for herself. "I like to do
Pilates, swim, travel and read. My all-time favourite
book is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I feel a
sort of kinship with him. I'm a big kid at heart-I
have stuffed toys and love chocolate."
Celine speaks three languages-Mandarin,
Cantonese and English. "I tried to learn French,
but it just didn't stick. The irony is that I have a
French name that my parents randomly picked
from a name book.
"I come from a family that travels a lot, so airports
felt like home for me. Whenever we traveled,
my dad loved to take me and my brothers to
museums. He'd proudly show pictures of us
as babies in different historically significant
locations from all over the world to family and
friends. Our relatives thought we were cultured,
but there was a hidden agenda behind all the
excursions. My mom informed me earlier this
year that they brought us to museums because it's
cheap for kids and there were benches to sit on
while we played. Thanks mom."
