Justine Fleming's Linkedin Analytics

Welcome to my profile! I am passionate about all things Linguistics, and embracing the beauty of language. You may wonder: what is so special about language? Well, if you'd like to know more, you have come to the right person! I graduated from the University of Toronto Scarborough with a Specialist Degree in Psycholinguistics, and a Minor in Psychology. During my time at UTSC, I have volunteered as a student ambassador, peer helper for two Introductory Linguistics courses, class note taker for four courses, and bible study facilitator. Not only did I contribute to my school community, but I also gained a number of skills, which are: oral and written communication; problem-solving; and time management. I have also acquired these skills in my studies, and they definitely paid off and prepared me for the workforce, thereby contributing to my success. On a personal basis, I volunteer as an Office Assistant at St. Maria Goretti Parish, and used to volunteer as a Community Aphasia Program Volunteer at the Aphasia Institute. Although these involve the same skills previously mentioned, a new skill that I acquired in these two positions is providing exceptional high quality customer service. These give me an opportunity to meet new people, get to know them, and be helpful to them. My volunteer experience at the Aphasia Institute involved helping clients overcome language difficulties brought on by stroke, and helped me gain a deeper appreciation for the field of Speech-Language Pathology. Additionally, I have worked as an ESL Teaching Assistant for the Phoenix Academy of the Arts and as a Research Study Assistant at UTSC's Department of Language Studies. I am currently working as a Teacher Assistant/Supply Teacher at Wales College Secondary School, and making a difference in the lives of high school students. Everyday is a learning experience, and I constantly look for opportunities for advancement to improve and do better each day. In my spare time, you can find me listening to some great tunes, cooking up a storm, reading up on SLP and Linguistics topics, and watching Italian shows. Like what you see? If you do, I invite you to connect with me on here. I look forward to learning more about you and being a valuable resource for you.
