Meet our Staff

I come to SAA with over twenty years of educational experience with the last seventeen of those years as a principal. I have worked in two K-12 schools, one 9-12 school and SAA will be my second K-9 school. I am so very pleased and proud to be part of the team and I am looking forward to getting to know our students, staff and the families of Sister Alphonse Academy better. I am also happy to share that my wife and I have been here since the opening of SAA in 2018 and we now have two children attending the school. I pride myself on being able to make relationships with people and that truly is the best part of my job. I am also encouraging all of our families to try and get involved with the school as much as possible, as only collectively, can we make the learning experience the best it can be for students. Welcome to SAA everyone, I am so proud to be the principal of such a fun faith-filled learning environment. All the best and Go Knights!

I am excited to be back at SAA serving students, staff and families! I have been with GSCARD for over 20 years and I'm looking forward to another great school year at SAA and all the wonderful memories we get to build as a community. I come to school every day to do what is best for kids and supporting them in whatever way I can. 

I am excited to be starting at SAA! I can’t wait to welcome  Kindergarten students into our Knights family! Early learning students will have many opportunities to explore, inquire, play, and safely learn about the world around them. I am looking forward to meeting our young leaners.

I have been teaching at GSACRD since 2003 and have worked with students at all grades levels from Preschool through grade 6.  This is my second year at Sister Alphonse Academy and I am looking forward to forming a close-knit group in my grade 2 class where we support each other in learning, sharing and having fun together.  I love doing science experiments, art projects and having open discussions where we find the answers  to everything we are wondering about!
I have 2 adult children and a dog named Rosie, and I love to walk, read, watch movies, play games and go camping in my free time.  I also love animals of all kinds, but especially dogs and bears!

I'm fortunate to continue working at SAA in the 2025-26 school year. I come to work every day with the goal of helping students become kind and courageous lifelong learners. I love teaching every subject, but have a special interest in social studies, environmental science, phys-ed and anything that gets kids thinking and moving outdoors. This year, I'm exploring creative ways to foster gratitude and responsibility amongst students. Outside of the classroom, you’ll find me road biking, gardening, and playing board games with my niece and nephews. Without a doubt, field trips are my favourite thing about teaching!

I am thrilled to be joining the SAA team and eager to meet all the students we have the privilege to teach. With over 10 years of experience working with children and their families, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise. I find joy in watching children learn and am excited to create a safe, inspiring, and enjoyable learning environment for everyone. I cannot wait to partner up with parents and families to help our students achieve their maximum potential. I can tell that SAA is an exciting place to be. I look forward to getting to know our Knights and to taking on a new adventure together.

Wow! What an an amazing opportunity and gift to be part of a Sister Alphonse Academy. I have been teaching for nearly 20 years and am so excited about the wonderful things that are unfolding at Sister Alphonse Academy. One of my main goals as a teacher is to build relationships with my students where they enjoy coming to school just as much as I do! I love bringing learning to life and getting students to connect to the world outside our classroom. That means, I am always learning alongside my students. With 21st century learning guiding me, I think about how to get my students to be collaborators, communicators, critical thinkers, and creators through meaningful and engaging learning experiences. Learning is a journey and working together as a team of staff, students, and parents, we will make the best of it. I look forward to meeting many new faces and can’t wait to get started!

I am so thankful for the opportunity for another year in a Grade 5 classroom and to collaborate with my fantastic grade level partner and friend, Mrs. Lobel! We plan to have a lot of fun together while investing time exploring new things like algebra and coordinate grids along with avionics and ancient civilizations!  I look forward to being wonder driven learning alongside our students this year! We'll engage in as much life worthy learning as possible. I look forward to accompanying students and families as they journey throughout the year and beyond. Grade 5 provides opportunity for lots of volunteer activities such as recycling crew, patrol crew, 5/6 vollleyball team and healthy hunger distribution club. Let's get involved!! 

I am so excited to be joining the SAA teaching staff! I have taught Science and French in Ontario and Quebec, prior to moving to Alberta with my family. I absolutely love the positive SAA community and have had the pleasure to work with many families over the past 5 years, as a volunteer. My goal is to create hands-on learning experiences, where students can actively engage in the curriculum in a meaningful way. I look forward to jumping back into the classroom, and exploring Science and Religion in grade 6!

I am truly feeling blessed and excited to join the SAA community! I have been teaching with ECSD for over 20 years and have recently decided to move school districts. My three children now all attend schools within GSACRD. This is an exciting change for my family as well. 

I am looking forward to getting to know the Knights family including students, parents and staff. 

Teaching children from Kindergarten through grade 9 has taught me a lot, and I bring that experience with me. I am a lifelong learner and I welcome new opportunities where I can grow both professionally and personally. 

Building connections among staff and students is important and I strive to create a safe learning environment where all students are treated with dignity and respect. 

I am grateful to begin this journey at  SAA and I can’t wait to begin this new chapter! 

This will be my fifth year at SAA and I am so lucky to be a part of this lovely community of students, parents and staff. With English Language Arts and Science being my primary subjects this year, we will be collaborating, learning, innovating, investigating and discovering together. I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new families and students this fall, and I am so excited to see what new adventures await with our busy SAA family!

I am delighted to be part of the SAA team teaching K–6 music! With over 20 years of teaching experience in elementary classrooms, including the past 4 years dedicated to music in our division, I bring both experience and passion to my role. As a proud mom of two teenage boys, I love adventures and bring that same spirit of joy, curiosity, and creativity into my teaching. My goal is to inspire students to discover a love of music, build skills and knowledge, and become lifelong learners through the arts. I strive to create a classroom that is inclusive, caring, and fun—a place where students feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. I strive to build relationships as a key to building this safe caring environment. Most of all, I hope music class is a highlight of their day!

I am thrilled to be full time at Sister Alphonse for the 23/24 school year. I love my job and I love helping kids feel successful in their learning! I am looking forward to getting to know all  the new staff at learners at SAA this year! 

Wow! It is great to be back at SAA for the 23/24 school year! I love working with kids and helping them grow and flourish in their learning! Looking forward to all the fun we'll have this year! 

Hello to my SAA family! I am so excited to be here! I have been an Educational Assistant with St.Albert Catholic Schools for the last 8 Years. I am a happy-go-lucky goofball of a person who lives to sprinkle in a little fun and silliness with our work. I love travel, dancing (though I’m not that good), coffee, and food! Working with children is my passion. Seeing them learn and grow is truly a gift that I am grateful to do for a living! I can’t wait to get to know you all, and to join the team at SAA for the 2023/2024 year! 

Hello SAA community! I am looking forward to the school year and working along side the students at SAA. I  enjoy watching students learn through various ways and succeed!

As the school works to best support our 21st century learners, the learning commons will strive to be a community hub where kids are not only free to express themselves, but also foster a love for learning, exploration, and creativity. As a library technician, I cannot wait to not only help students on their faith and learning journeys, but to also share my passion for reading! I look forward to beginning this new school year!
