I am in my 31st year of teaching with Edmonton Catholic Schools. For most of this time, I have taught at Cardinal Collins Catholic Academic Centre (formerly Fresh Start), an outreach high school within our division’s School of Alternative Education. Currently, I am teaching youth in treatment at AHS. Working with youth in outreach has been so incredibly rewarding and fulfilling for me. In terms of my Local 54 involvement, I have been a school council representative for 12 years, including one year when I acted as the CSJ Field Experiences Rep. This year, I begin my new role as DEHR Executive Liaison. I am very excited and honoured to be working with this amazing team to serve our teacher-colleagues.
