I am an Early Childhood Educator in my final semester at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, working toward my ECE Level III certification.

While I officially began my journey in childcare a year ago, my diverse experiences with children of different ages have reinforced that this is where I belong. I firmly believe in the power of play, as children express and explore ideas through it—our curriculum must reflect their interests and needs.

My goal is to build responsive relationships with children and their families, fostering learning, confidence, and a sense of belonging. I strive to be a safe, supportive presence in every child’s life, ensuring they feel valued and heard.
