English & Leadership

After moving from Newfoundland to Fort McMurray in 2014, I have been lucky to teach at École McTavish in several different capacities over the years! I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in English Literature and French, as well as a Bachelor of Education (Intermediate/Secondary) from Memorial University. I'm thrilled to be able to teach literature to our Marauders and connect with many of them extracurricularly through our Student Council. I love writing, singing and making music, crafting, camping, and being outside in nature. When I'm not at school or grading a million essays, you can find me hanging out with my husband, son, and our pitbull Kingsley.

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
