Our members
Gerald Getti
After spending several years working in IT, Gerald, the fire-cracker of the group, decided to forge a new path—French-language education—so that he could channel his passion for his language and culture and help future generations. He’s a student in the teacher training program at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia and is extremely excited about working in the field and meeting his future students. His energy is contagious, as you’ll soon discover!

Rianna Crawford
Rianna is our sportswoman and a student in the second language teaching program at the University of Ottawa. If she had it her way, she would never stop moving, and can often be found at the boxing gym, on the dancefloor, or at the ski hill. When she isn’t on her feet, she enjoys writing, reading, and above all else, snacking. Growing up in Southern Ontario, Rianna started French Immersion in kindergarten, and fell in love with the language and culture of French Canada right away. Passionate about bilingualism and linguistic duality, Rianna can’t wait to share her enthusiasm for French with her future students.

Alexia is the activist of the group and a fifth-year student in the elementary education program at the Université de Moncton in New Brunswick. Raised in Riverview, Alexia started French immersion in her very first year of school. Passionate about bilingualism and always ready to espouse a cause that’s close to her heart, Alexia gives freely of her time and exudes a constant joie de vivre. Which really worked out well for us!
