Hello and welcome! My name is Jessica and I am an Ontario College of Teachers licensed teacher living in Ottawa, Ontario. I completed my Bachelor of Education at the University of Ottawa in April 2017, and have recently completed graduate studies in the Master of Education Program (2017-2018), with a concentration in Societies, Cultures and Languages, also at the University of Ottawa. I also hold an Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences Degree, majoring in Criminology and Minoring in Psychology. I am incredibly passionate about education and think of myself as a life long learner. Now that I am certified to teach in Ontario, I am excited to begin my career in education and have an impact on the future students I will have the privilege of teaching.
As you navigate my website, you will find that I am a very hands-on, engaged and passionate educator. I strive to plan curriculum-aligned, inquiry-based learning experiences for my students and receive such joy in watching young minds grow and learn. I am skilled in the use and integration of technology in my classroom, and I pride myself on discovering the affordances of different types of technologies to encourage new ways of thinking and learning. |
Hobbies and Interests |
In addition to school and learning, I have many other hobbies and interests in my life. I love sports and being outdoors. I have participated in dance classes and gymnastics lessons, played competitive soccer, ultimate frisbee and tennis. I love to travel and photograph the beautiful places I have visited. On Sundays, you will find me cheering on my favorite NFL team, the New England Patriots! I have also been a part of the management team at a great restaurant in Ottawa, Local Public Eatery, since 2015. There I have taken on the role of Community Connections Organizer, working with local groups and charities, such as The Children's Wish Foundation, The SPCA, Ottawa Therapy Dogs, Harmony House Women's Shelter, and Caring and Sharing Foundation, and Their Opportunity Sports Corporation, to name a few.
