About jan
I believe in public education, because students matter.
I have dedicated my entire adult life to public education, because students matter.
Before becoming a trustee I spent 32 years with Edmonton Public Schools as a teacher, Curriculum Coordinator, Assistant Principal and Principal. I spent those 32 years caring and advocating for all my students and completed a Masters of Education in educational leadership.
When I retired in 2020 I felt I had more to give to public education. I was elected as a Trustee and am honoured to serve the constituents of Wards H & I.
I believe that a strong public education system is the key to a strong community and society.
I believe that every student should have access to a school within their neighbourhood.
I believe that every student needs to be supported to achieve success.
As a trustee I will advocate to ensure that these beliefs become a reality, because students matter.
