Educator Advisors from across the province give us important feedback on our program content, delivery methods, volunteer involvement and resources. We appreciate your support of JABC.
“JABC is dedicated to helping students understand that they have the power to shape their own lives. By connecting to local business people and entrepreneurs they learn that life is not a straight line that you have to walk alone. Educators and mentors are there to help students stretch and grow their view of themselves and to give them the tools to be brave in an ever changing world.”
“In my professional life, I am a Director of Instruction, Education Services, with the Vancouver School Board (VSB), a role I’ve held for nearly 2 years. Prior to this, I served as a Secondary School Administrator for 11 years and taught Secondary Science for 13 years. I am passionate about fostering engaging and meaningful learning opportunities for all students. In my personal life, my husband and I are parents to a daughter in second year university and a son in grade 12. We spend our free time with our large extended family, exploring new places to dine, and checking out local events and festivals!”
