Hello and welcome, 

As Redfish Elementary School classroom teacher and teacher librarian, I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing school, staff, and community team! The local area that surrounds our school is second to none. How grateful I am to be part of your child’s educational journey. I value the education and the experiences they have already gained from home and look forward to building and growing with them each year. 

I received my B.Ed. from the University of Saskatchewan and hold a piece of the prairies very dear to my heart. Prior to coming to Redfish, I have been taught in various roles throughout SD8. I have obtained a Post-Graduate Certificate in Early Childhood Education and a Masters Degree in Early Literacy Education to further and deepen my understanding of elementary learners. I believe a good teacher is being a student first. 

Apart from teaching, I am a mother of two adventurous and kind children. My husband and I enjoy exploring the Kootenays with them and, for me, reliving my own childhood experiences having grown up in Nelson. I also have a passion for physical activity and love getting children outside and playing on the playgrounds and in the forests. I also enjoy introducing children to floor hockey. I believe children need to experience the world around them through play and their interaction with nature and each other. 

I am excited to continue on this journey living and learning in this wonderful community at Redfish school.
