My name is Ying Ye, I graduated from Lakehead University in the Bachelor of Arts program. My studies mainly focused on Social Sciences and Psychology in my undergraduate years. Also, I am certified through TESL Ontario and TESL Canada to teach English as a Second Language.
However, my educational background and accreditation have little to do with my working experiences. I worked at restaurants and managed a franchise one. Then I found my passion in finances, so I worked in the banking industry for the past 15 years. I was a teller, customer services supervisor, financial advisor, back-office support, and now mainly working in the mortgage and lending sector. Luckily through all of my educational and work experiences I consolidated I want to become an educator.
I had helped many clients with their finances, supported customer service representatives with their training and problem-solving skills, and assisted my employer with management needs. I felt I can start from the root to help people achieve success in their paths. I want to build a strong foundation for children who have yet not stepped into greater societal roles to achieve greatness. I have always wondered how come this person doesn't know anything about budgets,
or why does my employer not recognize diversity, something as small as people's dislike for math, and why they simply do not want to learn new perspectives. I want to start looking at early-ages of people's life, and I feel educators heavily impact people's perspectives and the role they assume in the future. Thus, I want to gain the professional knowledge and resources to partake in people's learning experiences which can be transforming for one's life.
