Educational Assistant

My journey with Vermilion Elementary School began as an Educational Assistant, however, I found my niche as one of the Administrative Assistants. Originally hailing from the picturesque Halifax, Nova Scotia, my family and I travel back and forth often. However, Vermilion has become a place we're proud to call home. An added joy is that my son is a student at Vermilion Elementary School, allowing me a glimpse into his educational world every day. I couldn’t be happier about him attending VES, where I know firsthand he is taken good care of and learning so much!

While my daily tasks revolve around managing accounts and balancing the books, I love creative outlets. Pottery, painting, and anything art-related holds a special place in my heart.
Vermilion has not only opened its doors but its heart to us, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Working at Vermilion Elementary has deepened my connection to this wonderful community and its vibrant kids. Here at VES, we're all on this journey together, striving to be the best that we can be!
