Adult Upgrading

I started teaching at Okanagan college in 2010 at the Kelowna campus. I currently teach at the Penticton campus in the Adult Academic and Career Preparation program, teaching Math and Physics. I started my career teaching in the public-school system in Regina in 1994 and also taught in Victoria.
When not teaching I like to spend time with my family: skiing, hiking, vacationing. I also enjoy working out, reading, relaxing, and watching a good movie or documentary.

I joined Okanagan College at the Penticton campus in 2017. I am an instructor with the AACP program, teaching English 60, Provincial English 12, and Social Studies 11. When not teaching, I practice and perform with Banat al Raks, a professional belly dance troupe based in Kelowna, and participate in activities with two local Medieval Recreation groups (the SCA and Adrian Empire).

I am a Math and Science instructor in the Adult Academic and Career Preparation (Adult Upgrading) department of Okanagan College. I began teaching in 2007 after completing my Bachelors of Education. I taught Chemistry, math and biology in the public school system until I joined OC in 2012. In addition to my teaching role, I am a member of the Joint Occupational Health and Safety committee and Coordinator for the Penticton Campus.
Outside OC, I enjoy various physical and outdoor activities, especially if it includes my family. Among my favorites are hiking, climbing and camping. Beekeeping was a recent addition to my hobbies, starting off with a single hive that has multiplied to five, though I do plan to downsize to three.

I began my career with Okanagan College's Adult Upgrading department in 2015. I teach English literacy and numeracy and also facilitate the Volunteer Adult Literacy Tutor Program. What I love the most about teaching adult literacy is connecting with students and helping them transform their lives. When I am not teaching, I am spending time with friends and family enjoying all that the Okanagan has to offer.

I have been an instructor at Okanagan College since 2019. Before that, I worked in various school districts in the Okanagan and in Saanich. My teaching focus is Math and Science in the Adult Upgrading program. I truly enjoy building relationships with my students and watching their confidence grow.

Other than teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I especially like to be active, including going to CrossFit and running.
