Areas of Expertise: Social Sciences and English
I received my BA from Simon Fraser University. Later, I decided to live in study in Perth, Australia where I received my Grad.Dip. from Edith Cowan University. My practicum was completed through UBC, where I was fortunate to have outstanding supervisors who emphasized a dynamic and engaging approach to teaching.
I received my BC teaching certificate in 2007 and since then I have had the privilege of teaching and learning from countless students. My goal has always been to create an atmosphere in the classroom that is empowering and allows students to express themselves in a supportive environment. I have witnessed students gain confidence in themselves and discover the joy of learning, and that has been extremely rewarding.
