Bonjour! 

     A note about me:  My mother is Acadian and spoke French at home growing up. My father was English and back in the seventies the idea of speaking two languages was not as valued as it is now, so we spoke English at home.  I begged my parents to let me go to French Immersion starting in grade seven, so I was the only one of the ten children to learn French. Yes, you read that correctly, I have NINE siblings.  As of today, I have 22 nieces and nephews between the ages of almost nine (the triplets!) and 30, but soon there will be 23!  I majored in French and minored in German at UPEI before getting my Bachelor of Education specializing in French as a second language at Université Sainte Anne in Nova Scotia. I earned my Masters of Education in Literacy through Mount Saint Vincent University. 

I have been teaching since 2003. I have taught French Immersion all the way up to grade twelve. Sherwood has been my home since 2008 and most of those years have been spent in kindergarten, which is my favourite place to be. I am a huge Disney fan who loves to travel the world, not just to Disney parks, and I love photography (which helps on my travels) to read and to watch movies (which helps keep me busy on the airplane).  My latest hobby is diamond painting which I find very relaxing and soothing after a crazy day at school.

    I do not need any gifts, but if you feel the need to do something, here are a few charities close to my heart:

Canadian Down Syndrome Society

Canadian Cancer Society

IWK

Chalice

I look forward to working with you and your child this year and encourage you to contact me with any questions, concerns or comments you may have.
