Rachel

I’m so excited to be joining the Creative Bug team for my first summer camp season! I graduated from Teacher’s College in April 2025 and am a proud member of the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT). I’ve always believed in the power of art as a way to express ourselves and support positive mental health, and I can’t wait to share that passion with the campers this summer.

Outside of teaching, I love gardening, crafting, cooking, and spending time outdoors. Whether I’m getting my hands dirty in the garden or trying a new craft project, creativity is at the heart of everything I do. I’m really looking forward to a fun, creative, and joyful summer with all of you!
