I have been in the teaching profession for thirteen years at Edward Schreyer School in Beausejour which is a grade 6-12 school within the Sunrise School Division. Education-wise I have my Bachelor of Education., Post-Bac. in Education. and prerequisites for Masters in Counseling and currently working towards my Level One Admin Certificate.

I spent two years teaching all core subjects at the grade 7 & 8 levels and three years teaching at the highschool level, including grade 11 & 12 pre-calculus, grade 9 math and phys ed. health components. The last five years have been in the Counselor role.
