Learning alongside students and colleagues often makes my job feel more like play than work. I am privileged to have spent over 20 years learning alongside diverse student groups in international and northern physical and digital classrooms.
I earned my M.A. in English Literature from Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS. I also have a B.A. (hons.) in English Literature from St. Mary’s University in Halifax, NS, and a B.Ed. in English and Social Sciences from University of Toronto, ON.
At Yukon University, I currently teach intercultural communication and outdoor experiential leadership classes, while also supporting faculty as part of the Teaching and Learning Team.
If you are interested in connecting to talk about inclusive communication, experiential learning, student engagement, critical pedagogy, plain language writing, humanizing online learning, or open pedagogy, please reach out.
“Knowledge emerges only through invention and re-invention, through the restless, impatient, continuing, hopeful inquiry human beings pursue in the world, with the world, and with each other.”
