All 4 years of my education were completed at École Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School. For the most part, I liked high school and I did well. At this point in time, I decided to pursue nursing as a career and took most of the pre-requisites for this program. I graduated from high school in the year 2012.

I did open studies for a year to explore some of the courses and I also took English to complete all the prerequisites for the BScN program.

I went to college right after high school. I took open studies to take English as it was one of the missing pre-requisites that I still had to do to get into nursing. Along with English, I took other courses that I found interesting such as Spanish, Sociology, Communications and others.

I started nursing school in the collaborative Bachelor of Science Nursing Program at RDC in September 2013. I had originally applied for the Licensed Practical Nursing program as my first choice and Bachelor of Science Nursing as my second choice. However, I did not get accepted into the LPN program. Instead, I got accepted into the Bachelor of Science Nursing program. There I met some friends and made strong friendships with a few people who I still talk to. I met my boyfriend in the program.

I took a different career pathway after realizing that nursing was not for me.

After about 2 years into the nursing program, I decided that nursing was not something that I want to do as a career. I did not see myself as a nurse, therefore, I decided to change career paths. I decided to pursue education to become a teacher. I love school and love learning and what better career to pursue than teaching? I was immediately accepted into the program and started in September 2015.
