Cassie Wood

Assistant Education Director

My name is Cassie Wood. I am the Assistant Education Director at Oxford Learning North Bay. I graduated from Nipissing University in 2021 with a math degree and a teaching degree, and I am an Ontario Certified Teacher. I love working at Oxford and getting to make a huge difference in the students' lives, academically, cognitively, and socially. Seeing their confidence and love of learning increase is my favourite part. I love running, reading, spending time outside, getting involved in the community, and giving my cat Charlie all the snuggles. My favourite book of all time is The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I can’t wait to see students realize that math and reading don’t have to be scary and can actually be fun!
