About me
Marieke has nearly 30 years of experience working with children and adults focusing on education. She taught French as a second language to RCMP members and to English speaking parents of her school board. Marieke was a facilitator in Nortel’s LearnIT workshops (teaching Internet skills to educators) by presenting to her peers how to integrate technology in the classroom when the first Chrome books were introduced.. She is dedicated to making a difference in their students' lives and continuously searches for ways to improve her students' learning experience.
In 2022, inspired by the potential of natural settings to enrich learning, she has since incorporated weekly outdoor learning experiences. In 2024, Marieke became a certified Forest and Nature Practitioner in Canada. Furthermore, Marieke will endorse a new role this year as a Pen Pal Mentor with Take Me Outside.
Outside her work, Marieke enjoys spending time with her family and their 2 dogs, camping, traveling and reading.
