Hello, My name is Geraldine Melendez Vanegas, I am from Bogotá Colombia and since December 2021 I am in Canada. I am a professional in international trade and I have a deepening in Marketing. My future goals are to finish my career in Canada successfully and thus be able to offer my knowledge and develop my professional profile in the workplace (and why not, to be able to buy a Jeep Wrangler, my favorite car since childhood).

Hey there!
I'm Ruby Fernandez from Mexicali Baja California, Mexico. I have a Bachelor degree in Languages Teaching. I've been here in Vancouver for 4 months. I came with my family and our main goal is to get the permanent residence for so many reasons. The most important one is to have a better future for my daughters. My dream or second goal is to open a bussiness here, that's why I want to study marketing. Sometimes I consider myself as a leader, maybe because I used to be a teacher in my country, so I know that I can help my classmates with whatever they need in class, so feel free to ask me about everything, if I don't know the answer I would search for it and tell you later!
I think we are all here to be better and to have a better life and our family is our everyday motivation. Here is a quote that fits perfectly: "Today is the opportunity to build the tomorrow you want" -Ken Poirot
Thank you for reading me, see you in class!

A little pice of my life.
