Bio
Certified Microsoft Application trainer and workplace educator. Prior to having my own business, I taught at several colleges in Nova Scotia and for a short time, tried my hand at the principal postion. I love teaching and working with technology, and King’s-Edgehill School is the perfect setting for this combination.

Since starting at King’s-Edgehill School, I have been overwhelmed with the wonderful stories from our Alumni. I so look forward to hearing and being a part of the stories to come with each new year of successful graduates. The culture at King’s-Edgehill School is second to none. To witness the support, engagement and collaboration between students and faculty would set parents’ mind at ease knowing they are, as parents do, giving their children the best tools that they can to aid their children in becoming the successful adults of tomorrow. Our Alumni’s achievements are a testimony to the strong foundation that was established at King’s-Edgehill School.

Again, I look forward to connecting with the Alumni at King’s-Edgehill School and encourage all Alumni to stay connected and keep the stories flowing.

My aim is to continue to broaden and increase alumni participation in both School and alumni events and programmes. The role of the Director of Advancement and Alumni Relations is key to realizing many of the key strategies of the Foundation such as fostering connections and communications between Alumni and the School, providing opportunities for networking and ways to give back to the School, facilitating a mentoring programme, and encouraging volunteerism and participation in School life. It is my pleasure to welcome, Heather Strickey, in her new role as Director of Advancement and Alumni Relations.
