My name is Dana and I am from the Yukon, Territory. I am 23 years old and am currently taking lots of time to try new things before going to university and settling into a career. Since graduating high school, I have worked many different jobs and lived in many different places. Most of my work experience is in the areas of recreation and aquatics. I have worked as lifeguard and/or swim instructor in Alberta, Ontario, the Yukon, and Australia. In my hometown, Faro, I have had the opportunity to teach the kids learn-to-skate program and facilitate the kids after-school programs and day camps as a Recreation Assistant. My most recent position was as the pool manager for the small, seasonal pool in Faro where I got to do everything from creating schedules to coaching the swim team to planning special events and overseeing the work of the senior and junior guards. Throughout my experiences in aquatics and recreation I discovered the unmatched joy that comes from working with kids. This led me to an interest in teaching and I recently spent two years volunteering as an English teacher at a bilingual school in Honduras, Central America. My first school year there I taught grade six and seven. My second winter there, I was the volunteer coordinator/vice director and kindergarten teacher. This was an amazing time in my life that lead me into the Teacher Education Program at Yukon College. This is a wonderful program, but I found myself uncertain after one year whether or not I was on the right path. Based on my uncertainty I decided not to continue and to instead spend a winter living and working in Victoria while enjoying city life and a change of scenery. I am a hard-working, diligent, dedicated, and fun person who demonstrates a lot of passion and enthusiasm for everything I do. I love working with kids and how this allows me to be active and creative. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy a busy lifestyle. I have the standard first aid and CPR/AED certification as well as a current criminal record check. I look forward to the possibility of meeting you and your family.
