Hello, I’m Keren! ​

I grew up in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, one of the most violent cities in the world. At the age of 12, I found myself asking for refugee protection in Canada. 2 years later I was granted permanent resident status. The process I underwent was scary and complex, yet it also made me very resilient, and mature very quickly.  

I fell in love with Canada when I arrived because I felt safe, free and accepted. I had so many goal so I set myself on a path to learn English and French and later to pursue Business Administration in university. My knowledge of French led me to secure a position at Collège Boréal where I was in charge of multiple programs and services for internationally trained professionals, refugee claimants, francophone newcomers, and many other new immigrants in Windsor and Chatham. In 2019, I knew I had to pursue my calling even further. Thus, I became the Consultant behind Mendez Immigration Services.
