Dr. Rhonda Wizniak

Registered Psychologist

I started my journey into psychology as a kindergarten teacher in a rural setting. After teaching for four years, I became intrigued with learning more about the diverse learning, emotional, and behavioural needs of the students I was working with.

I completed my masters and doctoral studies in educational psychology focusing in learning, development and assessment.
