I'm very excited to be teaching at Dogwood Elementary this year. I have taught in the Surrey School District since 2000. I have an undergraduate degree in Music and Education from the University of British Columbia.
In my spare time I am very busy raising two amazing girls, Naomi (13) and Kimiko (10) with my husband Kevin. As if life with kids isn't busy enough, I am a member of a 7 part harmony acapella group called Sweet Scarlet. Other than music I enjoy all sports, especially lacrosse, soccer and volley ball. I enjoy going biking and hiking with my family.
I believe in life long learning and that you need to take risks in life. I believe that we should step out of our comfort zone and try something new because you never know what could happen. I believe in making mistakes and learning from those mistake. Finally, I believe in always doing your best no matter what it is. I hope to instil these beliefs in the children I work with and to help them develop into creative, confident and independent individuals, ready to take on the world!
