“I love travelling and getting to know new people, their languages and cultures.  In fact, I have had the good fortune, or blessing, of being able to travel to approximately 25 different countries thus far! Currently; however, I am content and delighted to be the International Program Coordinator at Vernon Christian School in the beautiful Okanagan region of BC.  

My passion is using language teaching to connect people to each other and to inspire them to reach their goals and dreams for success, whatever that looks like!  In the summer, I love to go hiking and then to cool off by taking a swim in one of the beautiful, clean lakes surrounding our beautiful city, and in the winter I love to go snowboarding at our local Silver Star Mountain Resort.  I also love to sing, bake, read good books and watch movies.”  –  Christine Seminutin
