Originally from Tunisia in North Africa, Linda moved to Canada with the intention of studying welding. However, she later chose to pivot toward International Business at Alexander College—a decision that she found to be a better match for her passions and long-term aspirations.
Her journey has been marked by both challenges and personal growth. Balancing work and academic responsibilities has not always been easy, but it has taught her to be more independent and focus. On weekends, she enjoys exploring new places, either in the city or within her own neighbourhood, playing tennis, and trying out new restaurants.
Currently, Linda works as a French Tutor at Alexander College and also volunteers at a local animal shelter. These roles have not only provided valuable experience but also deepened her connection to the community.
“AC has supported me in many ways.” Her on-campus job has helped her better understand the college environment, build new relationships, and stay organized. The encouragement and guidance she has received from staff have also played a role in helping her plan for the future.
“If I could give advice to new students, I’d say: get involved. Join clubs, go to events, and talk to your professors it really helps you grow.” Her favourite quote is “Never give up.” “It describes me perfectly. No matter the ups and downs, I stay committed to what I want.”
