Julie Bonk (B.Sc. Hons., M.A.) is a part-time clinical associate at Red Ladder Optimized Learning and is certified as a School Psychologist through Manitoba Education. Her work is supervised by Dr. Neal Anderson and Dr. Chris Tysiaczny. Julie earned her Master’s degree in School Psychology from the University of Manitoba in 2013. Since then, she has worked with students aged four to 21 in Winnipeg schools to support their social, emotional, behavioural, academic and cognitive needs. Julie views assessment as an opportunity to better understand how a young person thinks, learns, experiences the world, and responds to challenges. Her goal is for families to leave the assessment process with greater clarity, practical strategies, and a deeper understanding of how to support growth, confidence, and success.
