If I had to describe my job it would be…

Working with teens is challenging, never boring and one of my great joys.

When I’m not working at Stanstead College, I am...

Reading, spending time with family and friends, catching up on my recorded programs.

A person/book/song/place/etc. that has inspired me

Two people in particular have impacted my life in more ways than I can say: my step-grandparents, Jack and Addie Atkin, who took in an 8 year old when they were in their mid-fifties and raised her as their own - they also taught me how to speak English!

Other jobs I've had

I've been a chambermaid, a waitress, a casino dealer, a telephone operator and a live-in nanny. Just to name a few!

A thing you may not know about me

Even after 28 years of teaching, the first day of classes still scares me!

Most memorable moment at Stanstead College

First year, first sit-down meal, walking across the dining hall and my heel catching - ended up on my behind in front of the Headmaster's table!

Anything else we should know about you?

I do love other things besides coffee and chocolate: red carnations, scented candles and a day at the spa.
