JH English Language Arts, SS, Health

I was born and raised in Leduc, Alberta and moved to Fort McMurray in 2021 to join the Marauders. In 2016 I completed coursework at NAIT for Medical Radiologic Technology, then backpacked through Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Afterwards, I decided to obtain my Bachelor of Education at the University of Alberta with a concentration in Secondary English Language Arts.

In my spare time you can catch me reading, crocheting, trying not to overfeed my two rabbits named Fili and Kili, planning my next trip, and hanging out with family and friends. When it's nice out, I like to explore the local trails, go camping, or road tripping.

My favourite aspect of teaching has been building a rapport with my students. Seeing them gain the confidence to push themselves further than they previously thought possible in a safe space is a delight!
