I have been in the teaching field from 1998 to present. 20 years and counting!
It is my personal philosophy that teaching should include strategies to get students motivated and interested in learning, by adapting to the various learning styles of students, engaging students in real-world experiences that are meaningful to them and addressing issues that students can use in their construction of meaning.

I currently hold a Bachelor of Education Degree and Post Graduate Diploma specializing in English.
At the age of ten, I found my real passion, teaching. I used every opportunity to play school and teacher with my brothers and sister. It was no surprise then that after my secondary schooling in 1998 I started my teaching career, a mere three months after leaving school. I was married on December 10th, 2005 to a wonderful man who is very supportive of my career goals. Today we have one baby girl. I was inspired to become a teacher through my love for children. Teaching, in turn, gives me an opportunity to demonstrate this love for children by helping them learn and discover new worlds.
