English is an exploration of the nature of our reality, the cultivation of our capacity to emphasize. I draw on individual interests and personal experience whenever possible for writing assignments and class discussions.

During my time in University I was still unsure that I wanted to be a teacher until I reached my APT semester. I was extremely fortunate to have the head of department of a great school as my mentor. Afterwards, I felt a tenderness for the students and wondered how they were doing. I continued to be reflective about my experience, dreaming up different approaches and lectures. I knew I had found my calling. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in English at the University of Alberta and then completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Education.

I have experience both teaching in the classroom and tutoring students one-on-one.

I enjoy reading classic literature and try to spend a little time writing each day. I like to explore flea markets, looking for new records to listen to. I also enjoy hiking and snowboarding.
