- About Me (Education, Interests, Professional experience)
- I am an elementary teacher in Ontario,and also completeing PhD studies in education. My focus in teaching in addition to language and mathematics is geography. In grade 8 my students learn about human geography, that is the relationship between humans and the earth. Three areas of interest are population patterns, economy and migration. Already in grade 8 students are expected to get a firm grounding in how people around the world interact with their environment. Sustainability is a key element of this understanding.
- Area of Expertise
- Education/Training
- What is your vision for a sustainable future?
- I believe that education is fundamental to any attempts to create a world where sustainability is a guiding principle. It is critical to engage youth in this discussion and allow them the opportunities to discern the importance of a sustainable future.

About
The Women's Major Group (WMG) was created as one of nine Major Groups after the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro. This list serve is for members of the Women Major Group following the Post Rio+20 process (Financing SD, SDGs-post2015) as well as for members of the Women Major Group following Environment processes (UNEP). The Operating Partners (OPs) of the Post Rio+20 process that coordinate the group rotate periodically. The current WMG OPs are Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF) and Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN) supported by a core group including the Women's Environment and Development Organization(WEDO) and Global Forest Coalition (GFC).
