About me
My journey as an educator started in 2011 when I opened a nature-based in-home licensed family childcare centre. In 2015 I became a founding member of Hand-In-Hand Nature Education, starting as an educator in the Early Years program. Over the course of 9 years, I expanded our program offerings to include a child and caregiver program, homeschoolers’ programs, and after school programs all of which I led as well. Through the years I took on increasing administrative duties, becoming a location manager in 2017, and Assistant Director in 2020. In 2022 I became a sessional instructor in the ECCE program at North Island College, and this August I chose to leave HIH to concentrate solely on teaching at the post secondary level. I am active in the ECE community and I feel very inspired to be helping nurture the future of Outdoor Learning in Canada!
