Sandra Joined the First Route Driving School team in 2022.
Sandra has 12 years experience as a Drivetest Examiner, working in St. Catharines, Niagara and Hamilton both at the desk as well as conducting G2/G class driving tests.
Wanting to teach and help students have a greater understanding of the HTA road rules and why they are important for everyones safety on the road, Sandra made the switch to Driving Instruction.
“I’m a people person and enjoy meeting all kinds of new people.
I have experience dealing with seniors, new comers to Canada and drivers with test anxiety.
I also believe that your driving lessons should be a great memorable experience and I’m confident you will have that with me.”
