dsc01349.JPGI am member of the Board of Directors for Network 4 Change and have been since the creation of this community organization.

I was born and raised in Beausejour , graduating from Edward Schreyer School in 1987.  And now, I am back at the school as the Principal.  It is a unique and wonderful experience to be contributing back to my home community and I truly enjoy the staff, students and parents of our school.

My experience in the field of education started at U of M in 1987 where I received my Bachelor in Education in 1991.  I began teaching at Silver Heights Collegiate in Winnipeg where I taught both French Immersion and International Baccalaureate Mathematics.  After 8 ½ years there, I took a position at École Golden Gate for the next 2½  years.  My role there was Assistant Principal and also teaching some Mathematics and Physical Education. Those first 11 years in St. James gave me the experience and expertise to land a job in Beausejour as the Assistant Principal.  Three years later finds me in the role of Principal.  I have obtained my Post Baccalaureate in Educational Administration as well as my level 1 and level 2 Administrator’s certificates along the way as well.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family who all live in either Beausejour or Oakbank.  I am still active in many sports, including volleyball, curling, golf and canoeing.  I love to read just about anything and am an avid traveler, always looking for that new and exciting destination.
