My name is Muthumeenal (Meena), and I was born in India. I grew up speaking Tamil, and my early life was filled with rich cultural experiences. I have finished Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology. After getting married, I worked as a software testing Engineer for a year. Following my pregnancy, I decided to leave my job to focus on my family.
Moving to Canada was a significant change, and now I am adapting to the life here. I have two children, and we all came to Canada in December 2020. Adjusting to a new country has been a big journey, but it’s been rewarding to see how our family has settled in.
After moving to Canada, I spent the first two years focusing on settling in and supporting my family. Recently, I started working as a lunchtime assistant at my kids’ school, which has been a great way to stay involved and connected with the community.
My goal is to secure a full-time job, either in IT field as a Testing Engineer or possibly in an early childhood educator field.
