Story Drama Suite

I have been a teacher with the Toronto District School Board since 2008 and am qualified K-12. I am a Drama Specialist, with Library, Reading, Integrated Arts, FNMI, and ESL qualifications.

I firmly believe in integrating arts subjects, as well as embedding arts education throughout the core subject areas. I differentiate my instructions, provide ample opportunities for inquiry-based learning, and students to voice their interests. I am compassionate and empathetic, embracing exploratory learning and a love of literacy.
