Teaching

I became a teacher to be a positive force of good in the lives of young people; an empathetic agent of change who can provide guidance and structure in an academic setting. I build strong relationships with students by engaging in meaningful interactions with them, approaching every situation with respect and kindness. I believe in creating an inclusive learning environment, sensitive to the needs of my diverse students, and conducive to rich learning experiences that transcend the classroom.

I received my Bachelor of Education from the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary in 2018. Upon completion of my degree, I was hired by the CBE as a substitute teacher in the spring of 2018, securing a teaching job and a probationary contract that summer. A continuous contract followed the next year, and I obtained my permanent professional teaching certificate in June of 2020.

Teachable Subjects

Over the past six years, I have held the following primary and secondary teaching assignments:

Grade 5: Generalist

Grade 7: Social Studies, English Language Arts, Health and Life Skills, Physical Education, and Film Studies

Grade 9: Social Studies, English Language Arts, Health and Life Skills, Art, and Design Thinking

High School: Digital Photography 20 and 30 (practicum)

I enjoy teaching English Language Arts and Social Studies, and my passion and expertise for art, design, filmmaking, and film studies would be beneficial to high school students in a Career and Technology Studies classroom setting, with a focus on courses within Media, Design and Communication Arts, as well as courses within Fine Arts, such as Art and Film Studies.
