Nathalie has been with ACCESS since high school. She owns studio, running a photography and video business. Nathalie plans to go back to school to study law and support those battling immigration issues. As a videographer, Nathalie also supports ACCESS through creating videos that can inspire youth to get active, get involved, and make a difference.
“I was denied opportunities due to certain life circumstances, however, I was around good, inspiring people that supported me and gave me a new perspective on how to achieve. ACCESS allows me to do the same, to enable young people and provide them with the resources and the knowledge to get to where they want to be.”
Nathalie was actively involved throughout high school as the Prime Minister of student government, volunteering with the Brampton Mayor’s Youth Council and focusing her experiences around empowering young people. In 2009, Nathalie designed the St. Marguerite d’Youville School Diversity Conference, GET REAL: Get Rebuilding Equity, Attitude and Leadership which was adopted by other local schools.
