Bio
Lorena Costa
I worked with Emilie at Immigrant Settlement and Integration Services (ISIS) in Halifax, NS. We had to present few times together, and I was impressed from the beginning, with Emilie's knowledge, profesionalism, leadership and creativity. I am positive that whatever project Emilie decides to take will be well done and have her special touch.
Ralph Paufler
Emilie is a creative and well organized professional whose enthusiasm brings out the best in her colleagues. She has an inquisitive mind and approaches new situations with flexibility and confidence. I would gladly have Emilie rejoin my research team in the future.
