I have had the opportunity to be an educator in Christian schools in Ontario, Thailand, and Hong Kong. My family and I recently relocated back to Canada and I am excited to be the principal at Woodstock Christian School. When I’m not at school you might find me hiking, playing or watching sports, or finding some place new to explore. I love that education gives me the opportunity to help students discover things they didn’t know before. |
