Lara Bouvant
Educational assistant
Having always been drawn to human relations and working with young people, I have built my career around psychology, education, and exploring other
cultures.
After completing a general high school diploma, I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology, during which
I had the opportunity to spend a semester in Spain through the Erasmus program as well as a semester on an academic exchange in Quebec. These experiences allowed me to develop my open-mindedness, independence, and adaptability.
Wishing to continue this international focus, I then moved to Ireland, where I improved my English through various experiences, notably as an au pair and through woofing projects. I then continued my studies in Switzerland, earning a master’s degree in psychology and children’s rights. I subsequently lived in Quebec, where I worked for a year at a shelter for young mothers and their children. This formative experience strengthened my interest in careers focused on child support and development.
While my experiences in the social sector were particularly enriching, they also made me want to work in a more structured educational setting. This led me to the school environment, where I worked as a teaching assistant with teenagers.
I particularly appreciate the enriching interactions with young people and the opportunity to support them during a crucial period of their personal development. Contributing to their growth, self-confidence, and success is what motivates me every day.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature and the mountains through outdoor activities and sports, which play an important role in my work-life balance.
