A Spring 2018 graduate of the University of Lethbridge with an enriched, and
passion driven knowledge for teaching Language Arts. I am currently employed
in the district of Wolf Creek Public Schools, at IRJC in Blackfalds. Experienced in
an inclusive and diverse classroom setting, I am devoted to implementing FNMI
culture into the everyday curriculum. Building relationships is one of my greatest
strengths; I especially enjoy connecting with students who struggle with
challenging behaviours. Outside of education I founded a small business that
shares the message of valuing the little things in life. As an individual who was
raised on a ranch, I appreciate the values of family, caring for others, hard work,
mindfulness, and being outside. At my heart, I am a creative soul who strives to
inspire others in expressing their own individuality.
