I went to Holy Rosary Elementary school, Bishop Reding High School, and Milton District High School (all in Milton). I Graduated in 1996 with a BA (History/Sociology) double honours major and a BEd (Secondary) from York University, and married Brent Cross in 1998, ten years after we began dating. Our daughter, Sydney MacKenna, was born in 2003 and is the light of our lives. I currently teach History at E.C. Drury high school in Milton, where I have been employed since 2000.
