Husband and I
I am a recent graduate from the BCIT Technology Teacher Education Diploma program and am currently a UBC Bachelor of Education student. I will hopefully be a bonafide shop teacher by September 2016!
I grew up in Quesnel BC. A small town located almost in the middle of the province. However I have been living in Vancouver BC for about five years. My parents are both teachers so I grew up knowing what a wonderful career and lifestyle teaching can be. I got married almost two years ago to the handsome nerdy man of my dreams! (And BONUS he is also a teacher!) I love to travel and have been to many different countries. I foresee many more international adventures in my future. It would be fulfilling a dream to teach overseas so I am hoping that is on the horizon.
Having grown up essentially in the wilderness I have a love of outdoor adventures. Especially mountains…
Valley of the Ten Peaks, Alberta Canada
And of cold snowy winters… in which sadly Vancouver BC is lacking.
It was during these cold snowy winters that I began to develop a crafty side (you need to find ways of entertaining yourself while snowed into the house). I taught myself how to play guitar and to knit and crochet, I love to bake and cook, candle making, leather work, and of course to use the ever-more increasing-valuable glue gun to create a plethora of crafts. (Have a peak in the photo gallery for some of my recent creations!)
