Recruitment Coordinator | marie@youngdiplomats.ca

Montréal, QC

Canadian and Mexican, Marie-Chantal lived most of her life in Quebec. Her trilingual upbringing and her interest in using the languages she knows in her work led her to pursue International Relations as a career path. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Political Sciences at McGill University where she explored her interests in migration, artificial intelligence, and climate action. 

Her previous work has led her to intern at the Climate Reality Project Canada, work in youth outreach with McGill University and the Kahnawake Youth Center, and participate in a research project that identified the harms of AI in social media platforms on Canadian youth for a subsequent report submitted to the government for regulatory suggestions. She also acquired experience as a mentor and was the Director of Communications for a student journal and the Vice-President Internal of a student association. 

She looks forward to engaging with like-minded peers, participating in meaningful projects, and leveraging her skills to support YDC's initiatives. Together, she believes that the team and its delegates can inspire and empower the next generation of global leaders, foster constructive dialogue, and build bridges between cultures. She looks forward to bringing a positive impact to the organization and to learning new languages with the people she will meet!
