A Little Bit About Me

  • Like 99.999% of the 8,000,000,000 of us, my life is filled doing some of the little things that we all do to make our world — things like… teaching reading, caring for children, and volunteering in my community.
  • I was a child care worker and labour organizer from 1999-2015. I am a public school teacher (since 2015) and I currently teach high school English.
  • I immigrated to Canada in 2007, became a Canadian citizen in 2014, and have dual Canadian-American citizenship.
