Councillor Jennifer Noseworthy

I am proud to say that I was born and raised in Pouch Cove, and have lived here for the majority of my life.

My husband, Mike, and teenage son, Jack, and I have carved out a life here in our beautiful community. As a family we enjoy gardening and many outdoor recreational activities throughout the year.

Professionally, I am an Assistant Principal of a K- 6 school in St. John’s. I hold a Bachelor Degree in Primary/Elementary Education (MUN 2004), a Bachelor Degree in Special Education (MUN 2007), and a Masters Degree in Education (MUN 2010). Along with my Assistant Principal duties, I have worked as a Reading Specialist, Instructional Resource Teacher and Classroom Teacher throughout my teaching career. I started teaching at Cape St. Francis Elementary in Pouch Cove as a teaching intern in 2003, and moved to Natuashish, Labrador in 2004 to continue my career in The Big Land, until moving back home to Pouch Cove in 2007. I have continued my career on the North East Avalon since then.

I am a big advocate for volunteerism. I believe volunteers are the heartbeat of our community. Over the years I have volunteered in a number of different capacities, most notable: Pouch Cove Firettetts (Auxiliary of the PCVFD) Past 25 year member; Killick Coast Games Volunteer (6 years and counting); Pouch Cove Ladies Softball – Past Member of Executive, Killick Coast Softball League – Youth Coach.

As your elected councilor, I look forward to continuing to give back to the community that has given me, and my family so much.
