Fortunate enough to experience life on both coasts of Canada, Michelle’s early years
were spent between British Columbia and New Brunswick. This inspired her love for
travel and cultural exploration. She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences
from the University of Victoria, a Citation in Health Sciences from Langara
College, and a Montessori Teaching Diploma from the North American
Montessori Center.
Michelle found a great sense of purpose in education and immense joy in both
teaching and learning alongside the incredible youth in her life. She has seven
years of teaching experience behind her and is excited for all those to come.
Michelle is dedicated to building meaningful relationships with each of her
students and helping them discover their strengths, curiosities and a develop a
genuine love of learning. She enjoys teaching language, history, and all things
science. Michelle struggled with math in her high school years and now takes a
particular interest in assisting students to overcome challenges in this area
through creative problem solving and understanding individual learning styles.
She believes everyone can be confident and successful when met with the right
approach.
In her personal time Michelle loves cooking, open water swimming, studying new
languages, travelling, or digging in the dirt with her wife and Rabbit (Pepper) at
their community garden.
