Teacher at heart, who lives in Ontario, Canada. As an elementary educator, I love developing dynamic curriculum lesson ideas for classrooms. My area of expertise would be integrating equity and social justice topics into lesson plans to inspire conversations and connect communities. I was born in Sri Lanka, and we immigrated to Canada, where I now call home with family and friends. I look forward to traveling in my spare time, getting to know different cultures, and exploring historical sites worldwide. Reading for fun is something I often do, and I love book clubs anytime. If I were to do something every day, it would be learning to cook new cultural dishes when I’m home entertaining. When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy blogging: read the “Equity and Inclusion, Just Got Better” Blog Series with the Teach Better Team coming out in the Summer of 2021. Inspired by collaborating and teaming with other educators as I am a lifelong learner at heart.
