Meet Jesse

A lifetime dedicated
to teaching.

Jesse's journey with children began at age 12, teaching Sunday school — and never really stopped. After graduating from York University's Faculty of Education, Jesse took that passion global: teaching in Australia, England, and Taiwan before returning to Canada to work with the Métis community of Paddle Prairie, Alberta.

What sets Jesse apart is a rare second chapter — a career in software development and People Operations that brought a deep fluency in technology and human systems. That experience now comes full circle at Leafling, helping children and teachers alike navigate an increasingly tech-driven world with confidence.

Jesse brings a diverse, intersectional perspective to every family and every learner — because education isn't one-size-fits-all, and it never has been.
