When people ask me why I want to be a teacher, the answer I give is not as complicated as it could be, I tell them that I want to be a teacher because I am an eternal student. My background in the sciences has provided me with curiosity that I feel transfers well into the world or teaching. I grew up as a prairie girl in Winnipeg, Manitoba but had opportunities to move around the world through my fathers job in the airforce. I have had many experiences that I value and which have led me to where I am today. I have learned a lot through travel, and it has provided me with an open mindset that I hope to bring to the classroom.

My past experiences have also fostered the question I pose in this blog, the exploration of personal creativity allows us and has allowed me to find out about myself and my interests, making me the inquisitive person I am today. As such, I look forward to learning alongside my students and peers to explore their interests while growing my own.

I am currently focusing my studies towards primary education in personalized learning and technology. I am excited about the prospect of bringing technology into the classroom, I think it is an important aspect of the modern world and we need to prepare our students for it. I am personally not a tech minded person, but I fully understand its purpose and importance as a learning tool in the classroom. I am excited to expand my knowledge regarding technology and think it is a great tool which will allow me and my students to personalize their learning.
