My name is Melissa Lavoie. I’m from South Porcupine, Ontario (yep). I started teaching in 2006, fresh out of University of Windsor’s teacher’s college, and was employed by the Northeastern Catholic DSB from 2007 – 2017. I’ve taught grades 3 through 7, special education, and for my last 2.5 years, I was an Education Technology Special Assignment Teacher. Currently, I’m an Instructional Designer for Learning Bird and have recently worked as a GIS-Education Specialist partnered with Mushkegowuk Council.
