Hope

I am a grandma (Gammy), mother/mother-in-law, sister, auntie, friend, early childhood educator, pedagogical partner. My teaching background took me from Ontario in the Ottawa valley then to Timmins, and on to Banff, Whitehorse, Canmore, Fort McMurray, Red Deer and back to Fort McMurray, where I have lived for over 30 years. I am proudly the 3rd of 4 generations of female teachers in our family. My personal motto: "I am a spiritual being having a human experience" and I do that through family and friends, through my work with ELCC colleagues and through Nonviolent Communication as a way of being in the world.
