A Little Bit About Me...

Hi! My name is Courtney!

I grew up on a grain and cattle farm outside of Virden, MB. I now live on a farm near Hartney, MB with my 2 dogs and 6 horses. I love spending my summers with my horses travelling around to compete in horse shows! Some of my other hobbies include snowboarding, curling, leather & beadwork and reading!!
I am currently finishing up my Bachelor of Education at Brandon University and am heading off to teach in Kuwait for my final student teaching placement in March.  I am excited to see and learn about a new country and their culture and to gain experience of teaching abroad.  Upon completing my Education degree I wish to obtain a teaching job in a rural community.
