I am very excited to be in my first year as a Course Instructor/Faculty Advisor in the School of Education & Professional Learning. As a Catholic educator I believe in educating the "whole" person by looking after the emotional, physical, intellectual, cultural and spiritual needs of each individual. I am passionate about continual professional development. After 32 years in the educational field, it was through professional development that I was able to be the best I could be in my words and my actions. Anatole France said, "To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe." I am also known as the "chicken lady" as I live on a farm and take great pleasure in raising chickens.

I am a Faculty Advisor and Instructor in the Catholic Stream.

I care about creating school communities which promote the growth of whole persons in respectful relationships. I am inspired my many colleagues, their positive dedication, creative responses and active engagement. I love dogs and horses and spend hours with my golden retriever “Trin” who has me well trained.

I am excited to be instructing and advising at the Trent University School of Education this year. As a recently retired teacher with 30 years of experience, I know I have lots of learning to share with teacher candidates. As a faculty advisor, my class and I will be exploring the best practices in planning and assessment and a whole lot more. Understanding the learners has always been important to me as an educator. Students need to be part of a safe learning community in order to take the risks we are there to encourage. I look forward to being part of this dynamic learning community with all of you.

As a Practicum Faculty Advisor/Instructor in Trent’s School of Education, my approach to teaching is to keep learning fun, relevant, interactive and differentiated to meet the needs of all learners. My passion for teaching is based on a personal and continuous journey of professional learning, grounded in current pedagogy and research. I’m always inspired by observing those “eureka moments” when children and adult learners discover and make sense of new learning. Being a recreational golfer, I’ve come to realize that golf really is an analogy for teaching...ask me why!

What an honour and privilege it is to work with such a dynamic team at Trent University. Throughout my 35 years in education, teacher, principal and now faculty advisor, I have come to appreciate that my learning path is never-ending. I am so excited to share my curiosity and passion for the teaching and learning process with my Student Teachers as they begin their own teaching journey, and that means preparing them to be the best teachers they can be in an ever-changing world. Each and every student in every classroom deserves to have the best teacher. Don’t you agree? Teachers have a monumental influence on the emotional, cognitive, social and physical well being of our precious students and when teachers have the most effective and research-based knowledge and skills, each and every student will have what they need to achieve and succeed. My classroom will reflect the 21st C classroom promoting professional and innovative learning, reflective practice, collaboration, a growth mindset, differentiated instruction/assessment, inquiry and technology-infused learning. I am eager to embrace an open to learning stance alongside my Student Teachers. So, let’s get teaching and learning!
