100% of my education throughout my entire life has taken place in Regina, Saskatchewan. The elementary, highschool and university years were all spent here in the province. I have enjoyed learning here over the years, but I am also aware of the huge complexities that are in schools.
I can happily say I am a proud Thom Trojan alumni. During my highschool years I participated very heavily in a large majority of the clubs, spirit days, fundraisers, school dances that happened on the regular in highschool. Throughout all four years participating in all of the music department was crucial to me, on the regular I was participating in band, jazz band, choir, vocal jazz and an extra acapella group. On top of all the music, I was also a member on the Student Representative Council for three years, and found myself being a secretary for two of those years.
Shortly after my graduation in June of 2021, I was already prepped and enrolled for the upcoming fall semester but during the summer I took an introductory ECS 101: Education for Justice, Knowledge, Schooling and Safety course. This course did a lot for me in my development and my segway to attending university. Participating in this course provided me with the opportunity to meet a professor that truly left an intentional impact on my teaching. On top of all of this, participating in this class allowed me to meet one of my best friends. Meaning the summer course set me up for participating in summer and spring courses on the regular, which then set me up to graduate a semester earlier than the majority of my classmates.
All in all throughout my university education; I participated in some fantastic courses with critically important content and interacted with some fantastic professors!
