Bio
I was born in a small town on the coast of British Colombia Canada where I grew up before heading off to university. I now live in a small town in the interior of BC called Williams Lake where I teach in a private school working mainly with students in grades 8-12. I teach English, Drama (grade 4-12), and Socials.

Interests
As I am sure everyone else will say... theatre is an interest. I love directing, acting, stage managing, teaching students, watching live theatre, basically just being involved in anyway I can. I also enjoy to garden, read, do needlework, go to the movies, scrapbook and make cards. Another interest I have is travelling.
