Summary
I am a graduate of the Early Childhood Education Program at George Brown College, class of 2003. With over 20 years experience, I strive to set an example, while still being free-spirited. As a passionate educator and leader I believe in the importance of fostering an environment that offers a balanced approach that hones children's natural and innate curiosity about the world around them. As a confident professional my experience includes 3 years in a supervisory position, as well as working with groups such as toddlers, preschoolers, Kindergarten, and children on the autism spectrum.
