Back in 2018, I met 24 other YEMPers from all over Europe in a city called Tallinn, Estonia. I am feeling so many emotions as I write because I know I´ve made friends for life in this incredible opportunity to work at EUROPA CANTAT Festival!

To my YEMPers, coaches, and team, you reminded me what life is about and your energy, support, and immense love is still felt 6000 km away in Canada. I will never forget this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I know we will all reunite again in Slovenia 2021!
