If I had to describe my job it would be…

In class, every year is a different human experience with a different selection of personalities and learning styles. You never really teach (coach) the same way from one year to another, as the environment is in constant change. The only thing that remains the same is the age of the students while the clock continues ticking for you. This year is the first time I can say that none of my students was born when I started at Stanstead!

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

Renovating, building, landscaping and hopefully starting traveling again in the near future.
