Brandy joined the literacy field after working in libraries for many years including Kingston Frontenac Public Library, Queen’s University Teacher Resource Centre and Brockville Public Library. Brandy is dedicated to social justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. She has received an Ally Award for her work with Brockville Pride and recognition from the Every Kid in Our Community committee as a Youth Asset Builder. She enjoys spending time with her family and cats, and reading is her sport.
Marissa made the move from nursing into education in 2018, where she found a passion for teaching science and math in the Get SET program and supporting learners on their path to post-secondary success. In August 2023, Marissa stepped into her role as Executive Director of the Network, where she continues to grow and support Get SET agencies and the Northeastern communities. With experience in both service delivery and leadership, Marissa truly enjoys helping providers navigate an ever-changing landscape. She calls Northern Ontario home, and outside of work, she is a proud mom of two who loves camping, hunting, fishing, and sneaking in a little travel whenever she can.
First and foremost, Kristi is a mom of 2 pretty awesome humans, and has a great husband who puts up with her and her shenanigans…secretly, I think he loves it too!! Kristi is the Executive Director of Atikokan Literacy Inc., which up until about 2 years ago consisted of only The Adult Learning Centre but now has The Gathering Place and The Once More Store under its umbrella! The centre is a space to cultivate wellness through arts, education, health and unity! She truly loves what she does and is excited to see what is coming!
