  I love working at KCS because...
  I love working at KCS because it feels like my second family. Whether it's students, staff or faculty, we take care of one another and we all work well together. 
  
  

  Which of the Habits of Mind, Body and Action do you most align with and why?
  I align most with Listen to understand. Whether it be a student coming to me for help or a prospective parent calling looking to make the right choice of school for their child, I have learned to listen carefully to understand the needs of each individual so that I can help them accordingly. 
  
  

  If you had the time, what would you love to learn more about?

  I would love to learn more about photography, interior design, abstract art, sewing, and woodworking. 
  
  

  What do you like to do in your spare time when you are not working?

  I love to cook! Coming from an Italian family, food is an important part of our culture.  I love experimenting with new recipes and making old ones that have been in the family for years.

  Please describe something unique about your educational background or career related experience.
  I began my teaching career in a small school of 65 in cottage country. My first year, I taught a split class of grade 3, 4, 5 students and in my second year I taught a grade 3, 4, 5, 6 split. Needless to say. it was a challenge! 
  
  

  I love working at KCS because...
  In my admissions role at KCS, I get to meet new students every single day. In addition, providing tours to visiting families allows me to chat with many KCS students on a daily basis, from PK to grade 8. I love having the opportunity to see what the different classes are up to, and to share those experiences with others.
  
  

  Which of the Habits of Mind, Body and Action do you most align with and why?
  Find Humour: our students make me laugh every day. I thoroughly enjoy chatting with so many of them on my tours, when I am involved in clubs, or when I am coaching. KCS students are great people!
  
  

  If you had the time, what would you love to learn more about?

  If I had time, I would like to learn more about interior design and I would love to take a wood working class.

  
  

  What is your favourite quote?

  My husband comes from a large family. He has 9 siblings! There are many grandchildren and even 2 great-grandchildren in our family. His father has been writing a weekly family newsletter for years to ensure that we can all keep in touch. At the end of each one, he simply says. "take care of each other, Gramps." This simple quote reminds us regularly about the importance of family.
  
  

  What do you like to do in your spare time when you are not teaching?

  I have two teenage boys that keep me very busy. I am a basketball and baseball mom and I spend many evenings and weekends court-side or at the baseball field. I also have a very active puppy named Tucker who I love spending time with. When I have the opportunity, I love to go to the cottage with my family, spend time with friends, or work on rug-hooking projects.
