What You Believe Matters Most in Schooling

I believe there needs to be a connection with the students and teachers. I believe students need to see that their teachers care. Teachers are there to help and encourage students to learn and to do their best. With a good connection, I believe students will want to put forth great effort and are not afraid to make mistakes.

What You Believe Matters Most in Education

Lifelong learning is essential. Find what you are passionate about and open your mind.

What You Like Most About KBS

I love how KBS encourages students to develop confidence in themselves and to speak in public. By doing this, students don’t “learn” to be afraid of public speaking, instead they become confident speakers.

Hobbies & Interests

I enjoy spending time with my 3 daughters and husband. We love to go camping with friends, having bonfires, eating s'mores and fishing. Spending time at my camp, with my parents, sitting on the dock is one of my favourite pastimes.
