I am from Calgary, Canada and I am a graduate of The University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. I received my Bachelor of Elementary Education with a focus on the Spanish language in 2012. Since graduation, I have travelled to Europe and Central America. I currently live in Costa Rica. While I was in Canada, I taught a variety of classes, ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 12. I spent the last 5 years in K-4. My favourite classes were those of my grade 1/2 combined classes. We worked together to ensure that their learning was fun, engaging and that we had a laugh each day. I like to help students realize that learning is much more for them than what happens on paper. It is learning who they are as a learner and what makes school or learning exciting for them. I am a believer in taking learning out of the classroom and into nature where I would have my students use sticks and rocks to help solve math problems or demonstrate their art skills. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, and I like to encourage my students to do the same. I also love working on my mental health through fitness, yoga and hiking in the mountains. I always encourage my students to be physically active and teach them the importance of this!
