I received my teaching degree and Simon Fraser University in 2004.  I began my teaching career in North Vancouver.  After having my first child, my family moved to Kamloops, where my husband is from.  I began teaching at SD73  in 2008 as a music teacher.  I have been teaching at KSA since 2015, in Pod 2, as the music specialist and 4th grade teacher.  I enjoy the collaboration with my colleagues and using my creativity in teaching through the arts.

Likes:  homemade pizza, yoga, coffee, paddle boarding, hiking in nature, gardening, the ocean, movies, crafts (especially macrame), sunflowers, playing the piano and singing, and organizing spaces.

My Family

I have been married for 20 years to my partner, Mario.  I have two children, who attend KSA.  Clair is in Grade 12 and Sky is in Grade 9.  We enjoy skiing in the winter and swimming in the summer.  We are an artsy family that enjoys discussing and playing music, sketching, being dramatic and dancing.  Laughter is what bonds us together.
