Facilitator Information: I was born and raised in Montreal, Canada, and have spent the past twenty-seven years teaching English as an Additional Language (EAL) in various international settings. Prior to settling in Düsseldorf, I lived and worked in Paris, Trondheim, Brooklyn, Taipei, and Osaka.
My husband and I chose to return to Germany in order to be closer to family upon starting our own. Since then, I have been employed at the International School of Düsseldorf, where I have taught EAL to students in Grades 6 to 10 for the past twelve years. In addition to my EAL responsibilities, I offer Positive Discipline Workshops for teachers and parents at my school.
In 2016, I began my Positive Discipline journey by earning the Positive Discipline in the Classroom certificate. I have been actively incorporating Positive Discipline tools and strategies into my teaching practice and at home. I became a Positive Discipline trainer in 2021.
