I am passionate about education and am committed to the success of my students. I have taken on multiple roles in education over the past decade, including working as an Education Assistant and as a Registered Early Childhood Educator at a private Montessori school in Toronto and both the York and Durham Region Schools Boards. I have been focused on inclusion and working with children who have special needs in my community since 2008. I also have a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education with a concentration on Autism Spectrum Disorder, and I am enrolled to begin my Bachelor of Education in the fall. I am focused on creating learning opportunities that are based on the individual and developmental needs of my students. I love to spend time with my children while hiking on our local trails.
