I firmly believe, and have witnessed, the Arrowsmith Program having an amazing impact on the lives of those from a variety of backgrounds. My work started with Eaton Arrowsmith School in 2012, where I helped kids with a variety of learning differences engage in a program that challenged and strengthened their cognitive abilities. With the success in my classrooms, the research question was posed if this program could also help those who have sustained a brain injury. I left the classroom to facilitate a study with the University of British Columbia to investigate if those with chronic brain injury symptoms could improve cognition to return to a normal life. With the success of the study, I soon became the Executive Director of the Watson Centre Society for Brain Health, where we used aspects of the Arrowsmith Program, with years of success in helping those with learning disabilities, to treat those with brain injury. What this showed was that the brain is the brain, and certain regions are made to do jobs that others are not meant to do; by stimulating neuroplasticity into regions of the brain that have been either delayed by a learning disability or impacted by a brain injury, the Arrowsmith Program has the remarkable potential to help anyone who could benefit from improved cognition. As Co-Director of Instruction at Eaton Arrowsmith School Online, my goal is to help provide lasting cognitive improvements, for anyone who needs it, from the comfort of their own homes or schools, worldwide.

I feel privileged having the opportunity to be joining the EASO organization as a Cognitive Instructor alongside our dedicated and dynamic team. My journey within the realm of neuroplasticity began immediately following the completion of my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia in 2011, where I worked as a 1:1 aide at Eaton Arrowsmith School in Vancouver, BC. Enthralled with the possibilities of neuroplasticity and the ability to improve one’s cognitive capacities was captivating straight from the get-go. I have been fortunate to fulfill numerous roles within the Eaton Arrowsmith School since joining 10 years ago, most recently serving as the Co-Principal for the 2021-2022 school year. My passion for this work continues to be fueled by our committed community in their pursuit of cognitive change – a vision I will always stand by. When stepping out of the classroom, I thoroughly enjoy spending time hiking and golfing in the summer as well as hitting the slopes searching for powder in the winter!

My journey with Eaton Arrowsmith started as a student aide while finishing my BA/BEd degree in 2006. I immediately became inspired by this program, as it directly aligns with my passion to work with children and help them succeed at school. Over the past 13 years, I have continued my career with the Arrowsmith program in various roles. I have been a cognitive teacher for both children and adults in Vancouver, and helped open an Arrowsmith program in Alberta where I was the head teacher for three years. Now, I am excited to be part of the team helping to grow the Arrowsmith online program. As a mom of nine-year-old twin girls, I have developed a new appreciation for online education and am excited to continue to connect with students and help them succeed. In addition to teaching and “momming”, I am also passionate about health, fitness and enjoying time outdoors with my friends and family.

I have always wanted to be an educator. I knew the importance of a good educator from my childhood experiences in Singapore. Life sometimes takes you on a winding path and for me, it was filled with learning opportunities. After graduating university with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a minor in Counselling and Human Development, I worked in Early Childhood Education for 6 years and implemented the Reggio-Emilia approach. During this time, I entertained the idea of becoming an educator and finally took the leap when I stumbled upon an old assignment from my elementary school that stated my hopes of becoming an educator. I took that as a sign and went back to university and received my Bachelor’s in Education with a minor in Learning Disabilities. Upon graduation, a great opportunity came along, and I moved to London to teach students with the primarily diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. I learnt how to create fun, engaging individualized lessons that catered to my students’ interests. I am excited to join the Eaton-Arrowsmith family and create fun, engaging lessons. I believe every child has to potential to succeed in whatever they want to do and with the right tools, they can.

I understood that irrespective of where we come from, all of us share the common emotions of happiness, anger and sadness- this has changed everything for me. That has made me create authentic connections with the people I met. Add to that my experience, from reading, watching, and meeting different people, to train my brain to create new habits and make it a routine, gave me an insight into how we can train our brains to achieve goals. That led me to get a certification in Life Coach as I wanted to help people, especially young adults, to understand their own needs and gain confidence to fulfill them.

To be a part of Eaton Arrowsmith School is a great opportunity that aligns with my passion. I have learned from reading how one can create new connections in their brain, to see that now in action through this program will be enriching. I believe my patience, and to really understand an individual where they are at will help me as a teacher to engage and motivate students.

Apart from that I love to cook, read, go to coffee shops, listen to music, watch movies, run, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I first learned of the Arrowsmith Program in 2013, and began as a Homework Club Teacher with Eaton Arrowsmith Victoria in 2014. From the get go, I was fascinated. Every educational program and approach I’d been involved with until that point had been about working around cognitive challenges, not through them. Helping students strengthen areas of weakness turned my job into a passion project – it never gets old witnessing personal growth and the confidence that comes with it! I’m so thrilled to be back with Eaton Arrowsmith in an online capacity. In addition to helping others with their learning goals, I am a mom to two daughters, enjoy DIY home projects, and love to explore new places!

I was born, and have lived, on beautiful Gabriola Island, BC most of my life! I love outdoor opportunities with my dog, my bike, and my camera.

My school experience has been in French Immersion elementary and then English high school in Nanaimo. I really hit my stride when I started with the Eaton-Arrowsmith program in Victoria and Vancouver while I was finishing high school and starting in the young adults program. I experienced cognitive improvement and rising confidence that was noticed and remarked upon frequently by my family and friends.

Soon after I left EAS I was invited back as a Student Aid in their Vancouver (UBC) Program. I loved being part of the team and supporting the cognitive, social, and emotional growth of the students I was working with. We went outside every day. We connected through all kinds of fun days, nature explorations and celebrated our accomplishments!

As someone who has been helped by the EAS program, I know firsthand how the exercises look from a student perspective. They are challenging, but ultimately rewarding and the benefits are long lasting. I am excited to be working with the EA team again to support students learning and growth.

I am an educator with a deep passion for understanding the human mind and behavior. I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology from York University, which was an experience I absolutely loved. I have had the privilege of teaching both young and adolescent students, in-person and online. This experience has allowed me to understand the unique learning needs at different stages of development and adapt my teaching methods accordingly.

My journey led me to discover the Arrowsmith Program, where my passion for psychology and education could harmoniously intertwine. I was profoundly drawn to the notion of augmenting the cognitive facets of the brain that require further development and strengthening. I bring my knowledge of psychology into the classroom, creating an environment that fosters not only academic growth but also personal development. As an educator, I have the unique opportunity to guide and shape these cognitive processes, to ignite curiosity, and to foster a lifelong love of learning. I believe that education is not merely about imparting knowledge, but about empowering students to think critically, to question, and to seek answers. I strive to create an environment that nurtures this intellectual curiosity and encourages students to explore their potential. I believe that every student has a unique way of understanding the world, and it’s my role as an educator to facilitate their learning journey.

When I’m not in the classroom, you can find me exploring new and exciting destinations with my fiancé and my two lovely dogs. I love immersing myself in nature and discovering hidden gems. These experiences not only provide a refreshing change of scenery, but also serve as a source of inspiration that I bring back to my classroom.

I am thrilled to be joining the Eaton Arrowsmith School team as a Cognitive Instructor and Executive Function Coach. EASO offers a fascinating and invaluable program centered on the principles of neuroplasticity, and I am grateful to be a part of implementing it and seeing its benefits in people's lives. I recently graduated from the University of British Columbia with a BA in Psychology and am passionate about helping people grow and evolve. During my time at UBC, I had the honour of continuing my athletic career playing for the varsity field hockey team. I've had the privilege of coaching multiple field hockey teams and currently volunteer for the Kids Help Phone crisis line, both of which are incredibly rewarding experiences. My goal is to motivate individuals through building meaningful connections and ensuring they have fun while striving for their best. I believe in creating a supportive atmosphere where people can succeed, develop confidence, and enjoy the process of learning and growing. I understand the importance of people feeling acknowledged, heard, and supported, and I strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued. When I'm not working, you can find me hanging out with my dog, enjoying nature, travelling, and moving my body.

Challenging the brain has always driven my interests. I grew up in a society wherein education gets priority over all spheres of life. As a child I was driven by undying passion towards Mathematics and the Sciences, which yet thrives to be my area of expertise. I’m a double graduate in Biological Sciences and Chemistry; I received a concentration in Cellular and Molecular Genetics.

When I read about the Arrowsmith Program (AP) and the exercises delivered at Eaton Arrowsmith (EA), I was simply amazed by the uniqueness of the program! Currently, I work as an Academic and a Cognitive (Clocks) teacher at EA and EASO. The Symbol Relation exercise- Clocks, has been my most favourite AP exercise. It has been rewarding to observe cognitive improvement in students with respect to comprehension, conceptual understanding, and reasoning with the help of Clocks.

Experiencing the joy of students unleash their brain potential and learning exciting things through working our Clocks together satiates my neurons.
