15 years teaching experience

Hi! I’m Ms. Jacquie and I love being a teacher!

I have worked in education for over 15 years and my teaching specialties are sciences and humanities. I have experience in public education, private education and as a 5-year homeschool parent inspired by Waldorf, Charlotte Mason and Traditional philosophies.

As the oldest of 5 children, I was born a leader and educator and I just never stopped. I love working with young people. Children make teaching the most rewarding job in the world!

I am passionate about the natural world, the human world, the technological world and the bridges between them. I love exploring the intersections of our world through multidisciplinary studies. My goals in education are to support children on their quest for knowledge, to inspire them to create and imagine new and amazing things, and to guide them as they carve out their purpose in life. I believe in fostering human beliefs and systems that support a peaceful and sustainable future for people and the planet. My approach to education is hands-on, literacy-based and interdisciplinary. I help students develop the skills, confidence and curiosity to be lifelong learners.

My first teaching experience was technology and sciences in Namibia. During University, I taught anthropology and worked on a multicultural history pilot program. I was an Outdoor Educator and Program Director for BC Parks, and I am a certified teacher in British Columbia, Canada. In addition to teaching, I have experience in scientific research, local and international politics, finance, technology/data analysis, and agriculture. I have degrees in Biology, International Relations, and Education; a fellowship in Public Policy; a diploma in Health (in progress) and certificates in Agriculture.

I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada on a small permaculture farm with my husband, 10 and 11-year-old children and two dogs Eve and Willow. I love to discover new ideas through travel and I have been to 19 countries throughout Europe, Africa and the Americas. My favourite things to do are teach and learn, read, garden, explore the outdoors, practice yoga and dance.
