About: Before coming to the Writing Centre, Heather taught High School, Grade 1, Adult Basic Education, and the GED program. She was also the Learning Strategist at STU for 3 years. Her father graduated from STU in 1974, so she is a second-generation STUdent and feels like this is home. When she is not working with words, she is loving her two cats, refinishing furniture, or running after her adorable twin girls.

Random Fact about Heather: She plays several instruments like tin whistles, guitar, and bodhran, and plays in a Celtic folk band. She recently bought an accordion and is taking lessons.
