A Bit About My Journey

How I Got Here:

A combination of European primary school years, a North American high school, two post-secondary degrees and a teaching gig in Europe landed me here, where I have cultivated a desire and passion for supporting learning across all paths. If you’d like to hear more about my journey, check out my blog post [Title + link to come].
