Brilliant Minds Academy - About Us

Ms Megan - Program Supervisor

I am from a small town in Central Alberta. I went to post-secondary school in Red Deer and Edmonton. After graduating, I decided to move to Calgary with my best friend, I started dating my now husband, and working in childcare. We got married in 2018 and welcomed our daughter in 2021. Since then, I have enjoyed being a mom to our little girl so much and she brings me so much joy! In my spare time you can find me spending time with my family, baking, crafting, and spending time with our friends and their kiddos! I’m excited to be working at Brilliant Minds Academy because I truly believe in the success of classical education and the way that it sets children up for success in their school years!

Ms Angel - Spruce Educator

I grew up in a small town in British Columbia and decided to move to Calgary in 2020 to continue high school here. I recently just bought a condo in Okotoks with my boyfriend. I’m 19 years old, when I turned 12, I started babysitting my sister and since then I’ve babysat for family friends, worked as a day camp leader and started working in daycares in 2023.

Ms Jelly - Larch Educator

I am from the Philippines and am passionate about working with children and supporting their learning, growth, and development. I have been a preschool and grade school teacher since 2014 and have also volunteered in our children’s Sunday church program, where I taught the gospel and supported children’s spiritual growth. After moving to Canada in 2024, I continued my career in early childhood education and earned my Level 3 certification through my educational background and assessment. I am also a proud mother of a 3-year-old son who inspires me every day to become more patient, caring, and compassionate. In my free time, I enjoy adventures such as camping, hiking and swimming.

Ms Sarah - Aspen Educator

I live in Nanton with my son(12), dog and 2 cats. I also have two grown daughters who live on their own. I went to High School in Okotoks and after that attended Mount Royal University to study Child and Youth care work. I’ve supported children, youth and families in different capacities for over 25 years. I am especially passionate about young children because of how unique, curious and creative they all are.

In my free time I enjoy paddle boarding, downhill skiing and travelling.

Ms Sandra - Support Staff

I am a mom to 3 beautiful children. We moved to Okotoks 2 years ago in which I decided it was time for a career change. I got into early childhood development because I’ve always enjoyed working with children and being apart of their growth. It is really rewarding to watch children learn new things, gain confidence and just be themselves. Being a mom has strengthened my patience, empathy, and problem solving skills which naturally carries into my work everyday.
