Work History

Stay-at-home Mom

Me!
02.2020 - Current

Survived, or more appropriately flailed, as a full-time mom, teacher, playmate of two young children through the pandemic. Focused on prioritizing my mental well-being, supporting my family, and fostering a stronger sense of community around us which led to the relocation of my family to Edmonton. Nurtured a deep curiosity that led me through a self-guided exploration of psychology, neuroscience, social-thinking, behaviour change, parenting, philosophy and spirituality literature.
