My ancestors on my Fathers side are from Fort Chipewyan and Scotland, and from Wales on my Mothers\u2019 side.<\/p>\n<p>I grew up swimming, hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time at the beach. There were 5 children in my family, so we were sent outdoors a lot!<\/p>\n<p>At the age of 19, I decided I wanted to see the world and went to Europe. After 20 years there, I was happy to return home to the eagles and tides which I hold close to my heart. Upon my return, I worked at the local Francophone School for over 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>I have managed to live my life doing what I love the most, most of the time. This usually involves a happy mix of art, community, and children.<\/p>\n<p>I am very honored to be a member of the Valleys\u2019 most dynamic and passionate team which is Indigenous Education.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"parent":695,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2147","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-16 11:54:35","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"post_tag","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2147"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2419,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2147\/revisions\/2419"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
