A team of great people

Having been with LEARN's Shawville Office since its inception, I have been involved with many different projects from assisting with resource development to newsletters to scrapbook updates.  I am currently assisting with the LEARN Adult Services online tutoring service which has proven to be both challenging and rewarding.  I am always happy to see our organization grow and succeed. I'm a proud grandmother of three beautiful grandkids and in my spare time I very much enjoy attending various musical venues and adventures with my trusty Nikon.

I believe in the power of online learning to provide access and opportunities for all learners, and to level the playing field for students in small, rural, and remote English schools. I loved teaching middle school students for several years before moving into elementary school leadership. After transitioning into online learning in 2002, I learned to use online platforms, social media, and “Flipped” staff meetings to allow me to engage with online teaching staff and students around the province. Happiness at work makes us more productive - follow my weekly tweets #3happythingsatwork . I am a proud third-generation Quebec educator.

With a background in second language acquisition and online learning pedagogy, I have worked for LEARN since its inception. As part of an amazing team, I design and develop learning materials and online learning environments for both students and educators.

My motivation in life: raising three boys into thoughtful, healthy, inspired men… who will hopefully look after me in my golden years!  As well, a love of food, travel, words and music, guide me as I journey.
