SchoolsPlus: Bay View Family of Schools

About Me:

Hi, my name is Natasha and I am the Assistant Leader for some of the Bay View High Family of Schools, including Bay View High, Shatford Memorial Elementary, East Saint Margaret's Elementary, Ridgecliff Middle, BLT Jr. Elementary, and BLT Sr. Elementary. I am from Toronto, Ontario, and have lived in Nova Scotia for the last 5 years. I have my Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto. I worked in Youth Supportive Housing, and Child Welfare prior to joining the SchoolsPlus team.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, hiking, travelling, and spending time with family, friends, and my 3-legged cat Baloo.

About Me:

Hi, my name is Mikida and the Community Outreach Worker for Bay View High, East St. Margaret's Elementary, and Shatford Elementary. I am from Toronto, Ontario but have spent the last 13 years in Nova Scotia. I completed my Bachelor of Arts Community Studies degree at Cape Breton University and I'm currently in a Bachelor of Social Work through University of Manitoba. I have previously worked for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada, Child and Youth Caring programs, and as a Student Support for African Canadians.

During my personal time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, and playing my stringed instruments (guitar, mandolin, and bass). I have a Rottweiler-mix named Lola, who is my number one hiking companion.
