Social Studies, CALM & ELL Support

My role at Ecole McTavish High School is that of English as an Additional Language support and humanities teacher.

My husband Stephen and I are parents to our daughter Janna and our mini Australian shepherd named Stella. We are originally from BC, having moved to Fort McMurray in 2010 from Kitimat, but I was born and raised in Port Alberni, BC. I am a graduate from the University of Victoria in 1999, and have spent time teaching in Vancouver, Calgary, Kitimat, and here. I have been with the McTavish staff since our original opening and am thrilled to be a part of growing into our high school program.

Please do not hesitate to reach out via email if you have any questions or concerns. I am glad to help where I can.

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.
