C E N T R E D I R E C T O R
I enjoy learning and experiencing new things. I am currently learning to crochet and different ways to use my Cricut. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, whether it is a movie night or an afternoon at the rink watching my nephew develop his hockey skills. If the world is getting too much, spending some time in nature helps to recharge and relax my mind. You can find me nose deep some days in a book (or kindle). I am an animal lover and currently looking at fostering a dog (or two) to honor my soul dog who loved everyone she met. My husband and I are big Disney fans. I could talk for hours about trips to Disney or the new movies coming out. I am always willing to assist those planning those magical adventures.
I graduated with honours from Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario in Early Childhood Education. Shortly after graduating I moved to Alberta where I gained my Level 3 Early Childhood Supervisor Certificate. I have been in the field for almost 19 years, and have worked with all ages of children. I chose this field because I have always enjoyed being around children. I am the the eldest of my siblings as well as the eldest of my cousins. So I was the go-to for babysitting and assisting my many aunts. I have always loved their sense of wonder.
The biggest reward is when I have been working with a child on a skill or a developmental milestone and I see their excitement. This also applies to when I work with an Educator and they have their ah-ha moment. It is rewarding to see their confidence grow.
