I have been a facilitator and educator for over twenty-five years and have worked everywhere from classrooms, to boardrooms, to the wilderness, with many diverse populations.
I have seen first hand how invaluable play, creativity and hands-on experiences are for true learning and am passionate about helping create fun, hands-on learning experiences. I believe we learn best by doing and by being the driving force of our own learning; that learning can be a wondrous adventure; and that when we take the time to search, we can discover a potential within ourselves and others that we never thought existed.

I am mother of two, an entrepreneur, an author, an artist and an educator. I have been a facilitator and educator for over twenty-five years and have worked everywhere from classrooms, to boardrooms, to the wilderness, with many diverse populations. In those years, I am honoured to have spent over thirteen of them working in recreation and community development in Aboriginal communities throughout northern Manitoba and Ontario. My biggest life adventure yet has been becoming a mother. My two wonderful boys continue to challenge, teach, inspire, and bring joy and humour to my life. My desire to ensure they had exciting, nurturing and relevant learning experiences was the driving force behind her founding of The Forest School—An Alternative Learning Centre. As the primary “teacher “there, I feel privileged to have spent many years with an incredible group of wild hearts-- exploring, sharing and discovering the multitude of things that interested them. I also love connecting with people and places. I love to travel and learn about different cultures and ways of being, and how magnificent and diverse our planet is. I find joy, clarity and inspiration in the nature and love to spend time exploring the forests and paddling the waters.
