Originally from Newfoundland and Labrador, Jodi and her husband Mark moved to Yellowknife 12 years ago. With the addition of their two sons, Burke and Gabriel, they truly consider Yellowknife their home. Jodi began her career in 2006 with the Intensive French program before joining the team at Range Lake North School in 2008. Throughout her years with YK1, Jodi has worked with staff and students across the district, building her passion in the field of education.

Jodi brings a broad range of experience to her new position, including time spent as a classroom teacher, Intensive/Post-Intensive French coach, pre-kindergarten coordinator, program support teacher and principal. Jodi believes in an inclusive, balanced education that focuses on the whole child. She views education as a set of experiences for staff and students alike. Along with the strong team at YK1, she will continue to support strategic priorities while encouraging new growth. Jodi is excited to start the new school year as YK1’s student support and regional inclusive schooling coordinator and looks forward to working with the entire district community.
