Whether it’s in the classroom, on the field, or in the residence, I describe my job as being a “life coach.” I am passionate about building a positive school culture and I love living on campus, working with students and cheering them on in all aspects of school life.  

When I’m not working at Stanstead College, I am... discovering new dog walking trails, finding water, sharing good food with friends or at the rink or the rugby pitch.  

Legacy by James Kerr is filled with inspirational nuggets on leadership and life, passed down from the New Zealand All Blacks. I have two copies of the book, listen to the audiobook often, and I have motivational quotes from the book saved on my phone! My former kayak coaches, Ann Dodge and Csom Latorovszki taught me a great deal about hard work and commitment. I think my coaching style models theirs in many ways, and I still hear their words of encouragement in my head when I need a little push.

A thing you may not know about me
I was big into sprint kayaking when I was younger, medalling at Canada Games and I set a national record with my partner and former Olympian, Karen Furneaux. I paddled a giant pumpkin in the Annual Pumpkin Festival in Windsor, NS, and placed second. (I was sore for weeks…it was one of the hardest things I have ever done!)

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.
