I am excited to join the EPIC Learning Community as a Forest Mentor this year!

Originally from Southern Ontario, on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, I moved to British Columbia after earning my Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education. My childhood summers spent visiting family in BC sparked a strong connection to this beautiful province. After six years living and teaching on the unceded territory of the Stó:lō peoples, I spent some time traveling around the province in my old campervan, exploring new places and embracing the outdoors, before settling into Victoria to build roots in this community.

As a BC-certified teacher with Primary/Junior specialization and Forest Practitioner training, I am passionate about outdoor learning. My goal is to support children in developing emotional resilience, a love for learning, and a deeper connection to the world around them.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring tide pools, walking around my neighborhood, working on puzzles, or finding quiet moments to reflect and recharge.
