Interim Head of School Welcome

Dear Parents/Caregivers, 

Being selected as The Head of School of The Oxford School is an honour and privilege. When I met with the board members during the interview process, I was especially impressed with the School Board Member's confidence in the amazing teaching staff. Now that I’ve had a chance to get to meet the faculty, I understand why. I am thrilled to be asked to guide this institution with a firm and loving presence.

For twenty-five years, I served as an elementary, high school and post-secondary teacher. I have also run my own private school and developed a cross-curricular, learner-centred program that focused on developing the skills and character qualities needed to be a life-long learner in a changing world.

I earned an Honours Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Western Ontario with a double major in Physiology and Psychology after which I studied Neuroscience. In my studies I learned to design assessments, ask tough questions and make keen observations. As amazing as scientific research is, my heart has always lead me back to the classroom.

I look forward to serving your learning community whole-heartedly over the coming year as we build a foundation of trust and create a unified vision for the future of The Oxford School.
