If I had to describe my job it would be... trying to get students interested in history and geography so that they can use it in everyday contexts and build their own critical opinions/thinking.

 

When I am not working at Stanstead College, I am... Attempting to finish one of many books, spending time with my cat, or at the gym.

 

A person/book/song/place/etc. that has inspired me: My mother, who has always taught me that I could do anything in life if I worked for it and truly believed in it.

 

Other jobs I’ve had: I am fortunate to have been hired at Stanstead College straight out of university. Before that, I’ve held various jobs such as data entry, working for BeaverTails, cashier, and customer service.
