I started teaching late in life. I always wanted to be a teacher but was convinced by my high school teachers to follow a math science path.

 

I pursed that field during and after university. I started working with the Irving group after university.

 

After I had my children, I stayed home with them for 12 years. I then returned to university to obtain my BEd.

 

I taught at Saint John High School for 12 years and then transferred to Compass Education Support Center. While at Compass I had the opportunity to switch places with the amazing Cara Cole, the
First Steps teacher, on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

 

When Cara decided to
pursue Education Counselling, I was approached to teach at First Steps fulltime. I did not even have to think about it. I enjoyed my time at First Steps so much I jumped at the chance.
