I currently live in the town where I was born and raised, Kuujjuag, Nunavik. I began school the year the Kativik School Board took over the educational system from the government. Even though I spoke no English, school was really an enjoyable experience and secure environment for me. I then went on to CEGEP in Montreal. I found myself without direction, never finding the right program that excited me. I missed family and the simplicity of northern life, so I moved back home.  It wasn’t until I returned home and began substituting that I ignited a passion; the joy of working with children in a professional environment.                                                                                                                 

After studying part time in the teacher training, I made a bold move to study full time in Montreal. Upon the completion of my degree, I returned to Kuujjuag, and took on the newly implemented grade 3 inuktitut class. From there I moved into a more leadership role as vice-principle, until I went on maternity leave, and during that time I was elected as school commissioners and vice-president of the school board. At this level I know that this program will only help me make the best possible choices on behalf of the Education services for Nunavik.
