Tena Boven

Tena is the office administrator at Edvance Christian Schools Association. She became passionate about Christian education when planning for her children’s education. Tena brings that same passion to Edvance, where she serves schools as a primary contact for the association. Through volunteer work at Heritage Christian School in Lindsay, Ontario, Tena learned to appreciate the role of school administrative-support personnel and developed an affinity for the work. She worked first as a receptionist at the Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools, where she was eventually promoted to the position of executive assistant and in that role served four successive executive directors. Tena’s innate drive for learning is demonstrated through her own achievements, first in earning her bachelor of science in psychology, earning her designation as an Early Childhood Educator, and continual improvement of her skills as technology and cultural shifts continue to require advanced knowledge of digital platforms. Tena’s technical acumen was invaluable to both the execution and analysis of this survey.
