Q&A with Michelle Nicolaizeau What SCS experience most stands out to you, and why? SCS openedmy eyes to international opportunities. I was able to go on exchange to Scotland when I was in Grade 8 and also participate inmany Round Square experiences. These opportunities made me think bigger and outside of my comfort zone. What is one thing you love to do when you’re not working? I love playing withmy little girl, going for walks around the city, and relaxing with family and friends. What’s next for you? I’m actually switching gears andmoving back into beauty, whichmakes me super excited! I can’t wait to learnmore.

Michelle spoke about how her career has taken her to international destinations, and currently has her living in France. She referenced close friends fromSCS who took more “traditional” paths, but shared how happy she is that her career has taken her to unexpected places.
I’ve been able to adapt in each of my situations and really roll with the punches. There have been challenges, but at the end of the day, I’ve been able to learn, have different experiences away from the traditional path. Also – never underestimate the power of what you learn in high school!
