Phone: 780-790-1100

I am originally from Cape Breton, N.S. In 2006 I moved to Fort McMurray working at Westwood Community High School as a high school social studies teacher. In 2009 I became the Off Campus  Coordinator looking after Registered Apprentice Program, Work Experience Program and Power Engineering Program. In 2019 I moved to Ecole McTavish High School to be part of a new high school. My husband and I have a son and daughter and a Jack Russell Terrier. We love to spend time at our lake lot, as well as outside activities and watching movies, and travelling.  I have a Bachelor of Arts in English from St. Mary’s University and a Bachelor in Secondary Education from the University of Maine Presque Isle. I love connecting with students and learning what their passion is and what motivates them.

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.
