I have a degree in Child and Youth Studies, as well as an extension diploma of Children's Mental Health. I focus mainly on optimal health: specifically with self esteem, emotional intelligence, and positive self talk.

I previously lived in Calgary, AB before moving to the Waterloo Region, and finally settling down in the beautiful town of Acton.
I believe in: having a caring environment, learning through play, healthy meals, routine weeks, and exposure to community settings (libraries, early year's centres, learning programs etc).
