A Little About Me:

I was born and raised in Red Deer,

and am the oldest of five children.

I live in Lacombe with my boy-

friend Mark and our two dogs and

two cats. I spend a great deal of

time golfing, playing soccer and

snowboarding.

As well, I enjoy

playing the pi-

ano, flute and

saxophone. Dur-

ing the summer,

Mark and I

spend time in

our back yard

barbequing with

our friends, and

during the winter we watch a lot

of hockey! Mark is from Vancouver

Island so we love the Vancouver

Canucks! When we actually find

time, Mark and I like to start new

projects on our house; currently,

we are working on updating our

bathrooms!

Quirks About Me:

I collected Beanie Babies as a

child

I l o v e

cheese pizza

I am a very

picky eater;

I don't like

any “yucky” things such as on-

ions, cooked peas, beans, etc.

I have never had any

“favourites”; I cant pick a fa-

vourite colour, number, actor/

actress, movie, band, etc.

I am an analyzer; I assess

things deeply.

I hate scary movies

A Peek Into My Daily Life: I am currently a full-time student at

Red Deer College in the Bachelor of

Education Secondary program. I play

soccer for the RDC Rec Royals and

hope to stay in Red Deer for one

more year to play soccer with this

team again! After next year, I will

be transferring to University of Al-

berta in Edmonton. School takes up

most of my time, but when I’m not

playing soccer or participating in

class, I

babysit for

v a r i o u s

families or

work at

P a r k l a n d

C.L.A.S.S.

I love to

babysit be-

cause I can

teach the kids new things and help

them experience new aspects of the

world. Parkland C.L.A.S.S. is very

similar, except I am working in a

children’s group home with kids that

have various disabilities such as

FASD, autism, schizophrenia, etc.

They are both very rewarding jobs

and I feel that with my training and

experience, they will help me become

a better teacher.

My Vocation:

When it came to picking a career

path, I wanted to try everything;

hairdresser, paramedic, real es-

tate agent, etc. But when putting

a lot of thought and considera-

tion into a career as a long term

commitment, I knew that being a

teacher was my vocation. I love

being around kids; helping them

learn and accomplish their own

goals gives me a sense of my own

accomplishment.
