Meet the Team

GNS

Nadia works with our youngest students, including First Steps, Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grade 1, as well as working with our After School Care and school break camp programs.

Why did you want to join the GNS Community?

I wanted to work in a school and when I saw that GNS was hiring I did some research and couldn’t believe what a lovely school it is. How it’s right next to the beach. How the faculty and staff are a community. What it stands for.

What were you doing prior to joining GNS?

I worked in a preschool for a few years prior to joining GNS. I used to work in the Infant Toddler Program half the time and the other half with preschool-aged children.

What do you like about working with some of our youngest Gryphons?

It is the field I’m specialized in so there are many things, from circle time to different fun activities.

What is your favourite part of the day?

Depending on the day and since I am in many different places it can vary. I would say one of my favourite parts would be working in the different programs and interacting with different children and staff at different times. I also enjoy going to nature school once in a while because I don’t go every week.

Are you looking forward to summer camps?

I am looking forward to it! Camps tend to be quite easygoing with lots of different things to do. Each week there’s a different theme with arts and crafts, science experiments, different places to go, adventures and more that is related to the theme!

What are your favourite games to play at summer camp?

Tag is always a go-to and “What time is it Mr Wolf?”. However, since each week there are different themes I try to incorporate different games and ones related to the theme.

What are some of your interests?

Hiking, swimming, reading and journaling.

What is something most people don’t know about you?

I am fluent in Thai.
