Bio
I am originally from Portsmouth, UK but moved to Canada in July 2018. I have been teaching for 15 years and in the UK I was head of English and Media Studies at a large secondary school and mentor to Overseas Staff. I live in West Kelowna with my husband Jez, 9 year old son Logan, 3 year old son Eli and little dog Tipsy (12). We have recently bought a trailer so are enjoying exploring the wonderful sights of BC! I am obsessed with The Twilight Saga and love anything Harry Potter or Psychological Thriller related.

Because the world of IT is complex, and especially so in education, it is challenging to design a course of study that is right for all students. You, and every other student, bring with you a unique set of experiences and interests that enhance your learning and determine your individual learning needs.
