Hello everyone, welcome to my blog! My name is Brynn Birtwistle and I am an elementary education graduate from the University of Victoria. I was raised an hour north of Victoria on Quw’utsun territory, in a small town called Shawnigan Lake. With me were my two sisters, mom, dad, step dad, two step siblings, four dogs, and four cats. It was Quw’utsun land where I gained a deep appreciation for nature and Indigenous culture. I am grateful everyday for the Coast Salish people for letting me and my family live, work and play on their lands.

     I am currently residing on Songhees and W̱SÁNEĆ territory and am reminded everyday of how lucky I am. Living at home with me is my partner and our dog and cat. Outside of being a university student, I also work as a TTOC in the Victoria School District and as a nanny two evenings a week. I like to go for walks, listen to music, exercise, create art, read, paddle board or kayak, cook/eat, and pretty much do anything with friends or family. 

I have created this blog for my classmates and professors to share my learning from my education technology courses at the University of Victoria. I hope you enjoy!
