Centre Director
Salut!
I joined the Oxford Learning family in January 2011 as an Education Director; with a deep admiration and enthusiasm for the system and its philosophies, I ventured into the business side of things and opened the Bowmanville location in 2014. I purchased the Courtice location in March 2023.
After receiving a BA in English & Psychology, I received a Graduate Diploma in Education from the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia. Following my formal schooling, I spent several years travelling and accumulating a variety of experiences that included teaching in Canada, Australia and the UK.
When I am not working in the centres, I am spending precious quality time with my two young kids and planning our next great adventure :)

Education Coordinator
I have been involved with education for over 25 years, whether through tutoring, child care, volunteer coaching, or involvement with our local baseball and basketball organizations in the Durham Region.
I love being involved with the students and their families, to provide support and encouragement for all students to reach their highest potential.
Our family is very sports-minded, and although my children are now grown, you will still find us involved with baseball and travelling to see as many games and cities as possible.

I am entering my fourth year at Queen's University in the Honours Health Sciences Program. This year, I will be completing a thesis on revitalizing traditional Indigenous medicine. After graduation, I plan to continue my studies in medical school to become a physician.
Teaching at Oxford Learning is an incredibly fulfilling experience. I am passionate about guiding students as they learn, grow, and transform during their time with us. It is especially rewarding to witness those "light bulb moments" when students grasp concepts they have been struggling with and to see their confidence soar both in and out of the classroom.
Outside of work, I am deeply involved in the sport of baton twirling. I have had the honour of representing Team Canada twice, earning medals at International competitions in the US, Croatia, and France. Now, I have transitioned into coaching and choreography, dedicating much of my time to teaching baton twirling to younger athletes.
