Hi, my name is George and I grew up in Fort Erie, Ontario. I am currently focusing my studies at Brock University towards becoming a teacher. I’ve only recently joined the team as a student pursuing experience with those who require special attention, or those who have special needs. Being able to have this opportunity to not only help others, but also further my career has been amazing so far! Working with the clients we have at PCC has become one of, if not the best experiences I’ve had in my life because this role has really helped shape me into the person I am today and I am so grateful for that!
