Hello, I am vey excited to join Early Achievers and work with this wonderful team. I completed my Bachelor of Arts, Psychology at Trent University in Ontario with a focus on Child Development and Special Education. After completion of my degree, I started a new adventure in Japan, teaching English as a Second Language before settling with my family in Newfoundland. This is where I taught music in a Montessori school for four years with students aged 2-6, while continuing to teach music privately. My interest in supporting kids with special needs and developmental delays has only grown throughout my time teaching.  My passion for music also led me to the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra where I‘ve played cello for the past 13 years. In my free time you will find me in the forest foraging, skiing or hiking with my husband and our two funny daughters.
