About Me

I’m a retired teacher and early literacy specialist with 25 years experience teaching kindergarten and English as a Second Language. Before that, I worked as reporter and newscaster for radio stations in Saskatchewan and Toronto. Once I retired, I returned to my first loves from high school – writing and art! I’m happy to say that after a series of writing and art courses, I have a new career. Born in Val d’Or, Quebec, I’ve lived in 3 provinces – Quebec, Saskatchewan and Ontario. My proudest accomplishments – my two wonderful children. Future goal: Get a dog!

The SUPER HAMMY SERIES is the first set of books that I wrote and illustrated to help children learn to read. I used books such as these while I was a Reading Recovery teacher. Reading Recovery is an early literacy intervention program. It uses reading strategies as well as phonics and phonemic awareness. Children read meaningful stories. You can listen to some on YouTube. Follow along as I read lots of Super Hammy books in both English and en français!
