The following e-portfolio explores my past 20 years of experience in the Early Learning and Social Service fields.
I have had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of settings from coordinating a national conference for foster kids from across Canada to teaching kindergarten and being a part of Middle Leadership for schools abroad.
My teaching journey in Early Childhood programs began at an after school program in Ontario as a college placement and has led to returning to my studies to further learning in educational settings two years ago. I have also completed teacher training for Baby Massage and Baby Yoga in the UK, have published poems on parenthood and published my first book in January 2021. I have spent the past six years living in the Middle East where I have led teacher wellness initiatives and joined the MLT (middle leadership team) in schools to support further growth.
With this experience and passion for leaving a positive mark on the world, I believe I can support other educators to overcome obstacles, reach their goals and strive to promote reflection in educational practice. I am professional in my practice and passionate about supporting educators in their own mental health journey, through practicing Pedagogical Leadership through fostering positive relationships in the Early Childhood Education field.
I hope you find my work educating and motivating,
