Programs and Outreach Assistant
Damarce Heshima holds a bachelor's degree in Communication, Politics and Society from the Université de Québec à Montréal (UQAM), and her academic career has enriched her understanding of social dynamics.

What "superpower" would you like to have?
Ah, the ultimate superpower I'd love to have is the ability to teleport anywhere with a snap of my fingers. Imagine, no more money problems with plane tickets and no more delays! I could be where I want to be in an instant. It would be the perfect way to satisfy my wanderlust and, above all, avoid always arriving at the last minute.
