I have worked as an E.C.E in Oaklands, an educational assistant in SD61, and a teacher in Nunavut. I now work as an Emergency Planner and a Rostered Mediator with Mediate BC. I sit on a non-profit board work to support children and families with disabilities.
I am motivated to bring all my experience and skills together to work together and move forward in doing what is best for students, teachers, and families. The most important thing is how decisions are made at the district level. I understand the difference between being stuck on my own agenda and bringing my enthusiasm as an asset to the board.
One of the most significant responsibilities I see in a trustee’s role is acting as an advocate and voice for public education.
Within the district I want to focus on a structured career path for EAs, focus on training and resources that support the inclusion model, create stable opportunities in music, arts and extracurricular activities, ensure responsible technology and AI governance in schools, continue to advocate for modern schools, and engage with community partnerships.
