My path in education began in 2001 as a substitute teacher, which quickly evolved into a full-time teaching role for grades 3-5. My career continued to grow, eventually leading me to a principal position. While in that role, I realized the need for more robust support systems within schools. I shifted gears and took on a Teacher on Special Assignment (TOSA) role, first focused on innovation, and now on continuous improvement. This work has brought me to a place where I feel I can truly contribute and share my learning with other educators who are in the trenches, doing the heart work every day.
