About Me

What inspired you to get into the field of education?: 

There was never an "aha moment" for me when I decided what I wanted to be when I grew up. I just always knew that I would work with children, it's in my DNA! My gift!

What’s the most rewarding part of your job?: 

The most rewarding part of my job is: the one on one connection I get to make with the kids, and to develop a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. I love to help build on their strengths, and to support them to overcome their weaknesses!

General background information (years in education, degree(s), Universities/Colleges attended): 

My post secondary education was in Early Childhood Development. I have worked for PSD since 2008 as a paraprofessional in Integrated Services.

Interests/Hobbies: 

My interests have been my family. My husband Randy and I have four beautiful daughters, that I was blessed to be a "stay-at-home mom" with. I love antiquing, hiking, baking, reading, interior design, traveling, sand volleyball and I LOVE any beach, anywhere, at anytime!

Thought Provoking Quote: 

"A day without kids is like a day without sunshine!" And that's all she wrote.
