A founding member of the group. Craig is an EA in Burnaby (SD41). Currently working in Elementary. He has been an EA for 3 years now. Working with students and seeing all the technology around, he is using technology and incorporating it into the support of students.

Director at Large
I have been working as an Education Assistant at Prince Charles Elementary School for the past three years, where I support students with diverse needs and help create a positive, inclusive learning environment. I’m passionate about fostering growth and connection in the classroom, and I enjoy working closely with both students and staff to support success. As a mom of four, I bring a nurturing, patient, and flexible approach to everything I do. I’ve been married for 20 years and value strong relationships both at home and in my work. Being part of the EAs of B.C. community is an honor, and I’m proud to contribute to this meaningful and rewarding field.
