Hello and thank you for visiting my Webfolio!
As my final assignment for the course, a web folio allows me to showcase my best work and reflections throughout the course.
A little more about me:
My name is Helene but you can pronounce it like “Helen.” I am originally from Toronto however, I made the move out to Kelowna at the end of 2020. I am a registered dental hygienist and I currently work as a community hygienist for Interior Health. Prior to becoming a hygienist, I worked as a Canada Border Services Officer for 6 years, and prior to that, I was an English teaching assistant in France. While living in France, I had the opportunity to travel to almost 30 countries. Although this may seem like a lot of countries, it was quite achievable seeing how for every six weeks of work, I had two weeks of vacation! In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, going on hikes with my border collie – Bandit, as well as baking all sorts of desserts.
I am currently a student in the Dental Hygiene Degree Completion Program at UBC. By furthering my dental hygiene education, I am hoping to gain more knowledge and ultimately, explore more options in the field that I love.
