Where Passion Meets Education

 For as long as Danielle can remember, she has always wanted to be an educator. Danielle’s love for learning and sharing with others is a lifelong passion and crusade to which she devotes her heart and soul. Within her career path as an educator, she has engaged and inspired others as a Teacher, Learning Coach, Assessment and Data Consultant, Vice Principal, and now Principal. 

Her favorite and most important role, however, is as a mom. Born in Chemainus, British Columbia, and raised in Saskatchewan with her family, her roots are here, in the Land of the Living Skies. The art of sharing stories comes from her grandfather and father, who instilled in her a love of the art of communication and making connections with all you meet. 

Through these experiences, stories, and the love of learning and educating, the idea of creating a collection of stories, problems, and most importantly solutions, emerged. As society moves through the birthing canal of a new world and new life after a pandemic, she believes students, educators, parents, and leaders need a roadmap – and this is a cause that has become near and dear to her heart. 

As we move through the dawn of a new era much of the impact on our children, our educators, our education system, and communities have yet to be determined. Danielle’s response to the question “Did you always know you wanted to be a teacher?” “I used to line the dolls up and then eventually my sisters so that I could teach them. For the life of me, I can not recall just what I was sharing with them, but I am sure it was important.”
