About me
I have been a teacher with Edmonton Catholic Schools for 14 years. Though I have spent the last several years as an Elementary Music Specialist, I have previous experience teaching all grades from one to nine. I have also been a professional musician for 20 years. I have been very fortunate to have recorded with members of Foo Fighters and other well known bands. I have had radio success throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe. Throughout my life and career, I have dealt with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder. For a long time, I kept his issues hidden. In the past few years, I have opened up about my struggles and the obstacles I had to overcome. I have put together a mental health presentation called Rise, Know Your Worth, Find Your Way, which consists of a combination of storytelling and original songs that I have composed throughout my journey. I hope to help end the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage others to speak openly and seek help when they need it.
