Résumé :
Have you ever met someone and wondered where they might be from? Hi, I'm Tolu! I play steelpan, I love the saxophone, and I like art.

Her love for travel and exploration led her to become an English Teacher abroad in South Korea and her love for learning from her students and teaching children what she knows is what made her decide to go back to school and get certified as a teacher in Canada during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Friends say that Candice is a kind, gentle, and caring person who enjoys working with people, especially children.
