Hey there! I'm Ann, a passionate Nursing student at MacEwan University with an artistic streak. When I'm not buried in textbooks, you can find me lost in the world of visual art, grooving to music, or out in nature, soaking up inspiration. I truly believe that learning isn't one-size-fits-all; each person has their own unique style. That's why I'm all about creating an environment where learners can thrive. My goal is to make learning a blast!
