I am proud to be serving a second term as school trustee on the SD46 Board of Education.  The last three years have been extremely rewarding to say the least.  During my term, the SD46 Board of Education introduced environmental education programs into schools, sexual orientation and gender identity policy, and a student trustee to the board table.  I appreciate the progressive role the SD46 Board of Education has taken this term to benefit student learning.  As school trustee, I held various leadership roles such as the SD46 Education Committee Chair, member of the BC School Trustees’ Association (BCSTA) Education Committee representing the South Coast Branch, and member of the Standing Committee on Provincial Curriculum representing the BCSTA. Furthermore, I am honoured to represent school trustees provincially as elected member of the 2014-15 BCSTA Board of Directors.  My strengths that I bring to the board is my expertise as an educator and educational leader.  I am grateful for my 16 year career with SD46 as a secondary mathematics teacher from 1994-2010.  Now, I feel privileged to be a member of the SD46 Board of Education.  I am passionate about public education and will continue to advocate for our students, their learning, and their success. I am self-employed as an educational consultant, a graduate student at SFU, and mom.  I look forward to the next 4 years. Thank you District of Sechelt for your confidence and trust in my work as school trustee. #municipalelection
