I was born and raised in Aylmer. My mother taught at Lord Aylmer (formerly Aylmer Elementary). I attended Eardley, South Hull and Philemon Wright schools.  I did my post-secondary education at Heritage College and then the University of Ottawa. I have been working at D'Arcy since 1999. Over the years I have taught at all three levels at D'Arcy McGee in the subject areas of Biology, Physical Science, Chemistry, General and Applied Science and Technology and Home Economics.
