About me
Hi everyone, my preferred name is Amber. I go by she/her/hers pronouns. I am the third generation in my family to grow up in my hometown of Quesnel, BC. I live close to Barkerville if you’ve heard of it! Ethnic groups in Quesnel include the Haida, Coast Salish, Kwakwaka’wakw, Gitxsan, Tsimshian, and Nisga’a peoples.
I am a third year student, studying Sociology minoring in Education. I decided to enroll in this class because I would like to expand my learning of different technologies. After spending time working as an instructor at my local Rec Centre, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many different cultures and experience many different instructing styles. I hope to obtain deeper connections with the people I instruct and help improve the health of their communities. I am leaning towards pursuing an education/activism career.
My personal interests would be freestyle downhill skiing and gardening. I can offer different perspectives/ viewpoints from growing up in a small northern community to my peers. I am fortunate to live in the Vancouver PST time zone. I am looking forward to the connections and learning that will go on throughout this course. Here’s to a good semester!
Welcome to class, Amber! What a stunning photo! It is so inspiring and makes me reflect! If you do not mind me asking, what did you teach at your local Rec Centre? It sounds like it is such a rewarding opportunity for you!
Thanks for the comment!
I instructed art classes and miscellaneous activities for neurodiverse adults in my community. It was a rewarding experience that deepened my knowledge of different learning along with planting the seed of becoming more versed in the world of education.
That’s fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
