About Me

I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I'm an elementary schoolteacher and also a published author. I am completing my Masters Degree in Educational Administration at the University of Toronto this summer.

I am applying for my doctorate in the fall (Ed.D.)I'm also seeking to teach an online AQ in Special Education for educators through U of T.

Eventually I hope to snag a lecturer position.

God bless technology - learning and teaching online is tops!
