Maxime Lê
Professional youth leader
I am an outgoing, social, professional and goal-driven person with a conviction to get the job done. Over three years of experience working closely with youth in regards to employment, personal development, education, accessibility, awareness and sensitisation. From Ottawa, to the province of Ontario, and even across borders, I have expanded a growing professional network - either through viral social media campaigns, word-on-the-street, or personal networking - from which people have made me the main referral for support or leadership in regards to employment and community projects. I have successfully planned, developed, organised and executed many fundraising initiatives for various causes, which has contributed over $3000 to local organisations and global initiatives. On-the-side freelancer in writing, graphic design, social media and photography.
