Jeanette was born and raised in Edmonton and moved to the Lower Mainland in 1993. She received her BA in Social Sciences from The King’s College in 1991 and her BEd in Elementary Education from the University of Alberta in 1993. Her career began at Abbotsford Christian School, and she held a number of different positions there over 14 years. Ed Noot (principal of UCS) “stole” her away from Abby Christian to begin work at UCS in September 2007. She is kept busy with her different roles at Unity, where she is excited about working with the students and staff and watching them grow and learn in a Christian school where we recognize God in all we do. She admits that she’s a sucker for a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks! She loves to read, watch movies, go for walks, travel and spend time with friends.
