“As a student of International Development and Globalization, I am fully aware the importance of developing skills for young people. With my experience, I believe I can be a good presenter at workshops to share TVU students about living and academic skills”, said Rachel.
Beyond these workshops, cultural exchange between Vietnam and Canada is also Ms. Rachel’s concern during her time at TVU.
