My name is Megan Strachan-Garrels and I was born and raised in Kimberley, BC. After graduation I ventured around the world backpacking and fell in love with the Spanish language and culture. These experiences inspired me to achieve a Bachelor Degree majoring in Spanish from Mount Royal University and Universidad de Pablo de Olavide in Seville, Spain. At this point I knew that education was my true passion and I began my teaching journey as an Educational Assistant which then led me to complete a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Calgary to become a certified K-12 teacher specializing is teaching Secondary Spanish. Now, I am back in Kimberley currently teaching grade 5 and grateful to collaborate and be apart of our beautiful, growing community.
