WHO AM I?

I grew up in a small town on Cape Breton Island in Eastern Canada. I began my teaching career in New York City, followed by 25 years working at international schools in the Middle east and Asia (Japan, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Vietnam). Every place I have been has had played a role in enriching my life.

MY EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY:

A school is a breeding ground the development of a thirst for knowledge and an innate desire to explore, analyze, understand, and contribute to society. In order for a school to succeed, it must be a community characterized by sincere concern for the intellectual, social, and emotional welfare of all members. I have always been driven by a passion for learning and self-improvement and awareness of the psychological and social needs and motivations of human beings, and unyielding ethical commitment to those whom I serve.

MY GOALS AT TAS:

  • To help in developing and maintaining an atmosphere of care, safety, and trust.
  • To ensure that all students know that they are valued for who they are and who they can be.
  • To support the psychological health of the TAS community.
  • To hold myself and others to the highest ethical standards of the teaching and counselling professions.
