I love the outdoors and taking the time to appreciate the beauty of nature. My hobbies are an excellent balance for a busy classroom and I strive to meld both worlds, so that while I am exercising, I am reflecting on simplistic and new teaching strategies and while I am teaching, I am centred and mindful of individual student learning needs.
