From the Head of School
A Fulford Academy education is simply different.
Our small class sizes, dynamic club programs, and house-based community activities ensure that every student feels a sense of belonging at Fulford Academy. Whether they are boarding or day students, all individuals know they are supported by compassionate peers and dedicated staff members committed to providing them with the highest quality personalized education.
Our students engage in a differentiated STEM+A environment where they acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for success in their future endeavors.
The core values of Fulford Academy foster an inclusive atmosphere. We prioritize collaboration and cooperation within our community; we celebrate our unique differences while working to find common ground that builds connections between individuals and cultures. We honor the bravery it takes to step outside of one’s comfort zone and continually strive for the wisdom to improve our world for everyone.
I am honored to serve as the Head of School at Fulford Academy, bringing a passion for education and leadership to this incredible community. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts from Carleton University, followed by a Bachelor of Education from Nipissing University, and a Professional Master of Education from Queen’s University. These experiences have shaped my commitment to fostering academic excellence and lifelong learning.
As an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT), I hold multiple qualifications, including a Guidance Specialist certification and Principal’s Qualifications. I am also a Certified Google Educator and Instructor, which allows me to incorporate innovative technology into the classroom to enhance learning and engagement.
Throughout my career, I have focused on creating inclusive, supportive, and enriching environments where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Collaboration, continuous improvement, and preparing students to succeed in a dynamic world are at the core of my leadership philosophy.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through sports and fitness. Whether I’m playing hockey, curling, golf, soccer, or ball hockey—or going for a run—I find joy in the camaraderie and discipline these activities offer. They also reflect my belief in teamwork and perseverance, values I strive to bring into every aspect of my leadership.
It is a privilege to lead Fulford Academy, and I look forward to working with our students, staff, and families to create a bright and inspiring future for our community.
