About

I help people be more.

I’m a professional instructor and curriculum strategist.

My student-focused, positive, and interactive approach has been well received by participants at organizations in Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, and France.

I hold a Master of Education in Postsecondary Curriculum and Instruction from Simon Fraser University, an Honours BA from the University of Toronto, and a BC Provincial Instructor Diploma.
