Associate Dean, Centre for Education, Language and Professional Practice - Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences
As an educator and administrator, I am most animated when creating organizational and instructional systems that support professional development and access for all types of learners. With over 25 years’ experience as an educator and administrator, I have worked in the private and public sector on three continents and have partnered with organizations and individuals in knowledge building solutions and finding innovative and engaging techniques for supporting individuals in their learning and professional needs.
Accompanying my experience, I am a Doctor of Education Candidate researching networked-based online teaching and learning systems. I also hold an MA as well as a Graduate Diploma in Distance Education Technologies.
I believe that when people work with other people to learn anything, not only are they bringing all their life experiences with them, they are also confronted with a new context, new ideas, and new ways of being and doing. My passion is to support people while together they build new skills, competencies, insights, and ways of doing that achieve results organizationally as well as personally. In my spare time I love stand up paddle boarding, playing and listening to music, reading, and cooking.
