Meet the 2022/2023 Selkirk Elementary School Counsellors:
Hello Selkirk Coyote Families,
We hope this letter finds you well. Although these last few months were different, we are excited for a new school year. As the 2020/2021 school counselling team, we wanted to introduce ourselves and highlight Selkirk’s counselling program.

I am grateful to be returning as Selkirk’s fulltime school counsellor. Over the summer, my family and I explored Yukon’s beautiful campgrounds and trails; thankfully, the wildlife we encountered remained at least one caribou length away! I am passionate about trauma-informed education, and I am working toward certification in the Neurosequential Model in education. I am looking forward to reconnecting with returning Selkirk families, and to meeting new Coyotes.
