"Choose your self-presentations carefully, for what starts out as a mask may become your face." - Erving Goffman, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life

Hi! I am currently the Dean of the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) at Georgian College.  A former full-time Liberal Arts and Sciences professor and program coordinator, I have close to 20 years of experience in higher education. In my current role, I now oversee, with the help of a tremendous team, resources, opportunities, and support related to faculty development and professional learning. That includes supporting our faculty when it comes to learning and educational technologies, our Learning Management System, the development and review of our pathways focusing on building out courses in multiple modalities (hybrid, flex, dual synchronous), full-time and part-time faculty professional development opportunities, and VR/AR projects. The goal of our CTL is to inspire excellence by igniting curiosity, connecting communities, and supporting bravery at the leading edge of teaching and learning and I am very happy to lead and be a part of that vision.
