Meet the Director
Michell Ruiz
I've worked in education since I was 17, starting as a social service intern. I've been fascinated by the educational field ever since, and I'd love to pursue a career related to teaching children! My interests involve linguistics, books, learning new languages, and craft activities such as crochet and knitting.
Meet the Team
Genevieve Isaak
I am a Level 1 E.C.E. at Juvenescence. I am a recent high school graduate from Calgary, Alberta. I am currently looking to expand my knowledge in childcare and demonstrate my leadership skills. I am excited to begin my journey of working with children in a professional context and taking on specialized skills from my peers.
Barbara Curapiaca Marin
I'm a level 1 E.C.E. here at the Juvenescence. I am from Venezuela and recently moved to Calgary from Brazil, where I was a ballet and music teacher. I consider myself very conscientious when it comes to working. I love discovering new things, and I speak 3 languages: Portuguese, English & Spanish.
Garima Sengar
I am a Level 1 E.C.E. here at Juvenescence. I have also studied Fashion Merchandising and Retail Management at the Pearl Academy of Fashion, India. I had been working in the retail industry and then switched to the Fashion Institute as a student counsellor. I came to Canada and started working in retail; that's where I realized I love being amongst kids and came to Juvenescence.
Madison Fletcher
I am a Level 3 E.C.E. with over 15 years of experience working with children ages 6 months to 6 years old. I recently graduated from Bow Valley College and am excited to start my new journey as a Level 3. I am excited to have the chance to get to work with school-age children. Even though I have had the chance to step in from time to time before, this will be the first time my level allows me access to this age group, and I’m happy to be on this journey!

Khalid Riaz
I was born and raised in Pakistan and moved to Canada in 2013. After going through some major life changes, I decided to pursue my Level 1 E.C.E. and begin a new chapter focused on happiness, growth, and making a positive difference. I speak four languages—English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi—and I look forward to using my skills and experiences to connect with children and families from different backgrounds.
