I have been teaching at Mulberry Waldorf School since 1996. After taking the first class through to graduation I have taught the upper grades for the past five years.

Prior to coming to Kingston, I worked as a French and German teacher at Sunrise Waldorf School in Duncan, B.C.  In the seventies my husband and I emigrated from the Netherlands to Canada, first to Winnipeg, then Victoria, and now Kingston. In all these places I have learned to appreciate the stunning beauty of Canada’s landscapes.

My main hobbies in the summer are kayaking, canoeing and swimming.  Winters are becoming more attractive since I embraced cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.  Toss in the tulips and daffodils in the spring, and I am content!
