My name is Odile Raphael and I am originally from West Africa. My immigration journey started in 2006 in Ottawa where I landed for study and study again. I chose Ottawa because it’s a bilingual city and I could easily interact more comfortably in my first language (French) to English without so much confusion. My name “Odile” means “wealth” an accumulation of valuable resources according to Google definition meaning that wealth is a combination of Physical, Financial, Spiritual and Economical resources a person can possess. With that being said; I’ve been all over the places in my search for a job/career satisfaction for about 15 years. I’m currently working in the Healthcare Home and Community Services with Victorian Order of Nurses since 2020. Prior Education or formation includes but not limited to Hotel Management and Restaurant, Security/ Private Investigation services, Police Foundation and working at a Manufacturing Auto Parts Assembly in Strafford Ontario.
