As an educational developer, I support a range of faculty and curricular development and programming at the University of Guelph. Whether it is through resources, workshops, communities of practice, or consultations, I believe that for educators and learners to do their best work, they must be supported, challenged and connected. With my current focus on Digital Pedagogies & AI, I approach digital tools as spaces for creativity and connection.
Before joining the Office of Teaching and Learning, I served as Experiential Learning Partnerships and Educational Developer for the College of Arts and Experiential Learning Hub at the University of Guelph. I also taught as a sessional lecturer for many years at the University of Guelph (School of Engineering, College of Arts), University of Waterloo (Communication Arts) and Wilfrid Laurier University (Department of English and Film Studies).
I hold a Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance of the Americas from Arizona State University focused on interdisciplinary performance practices and environmental agency. I also hold an MA from the University of Guelph (English) and HBA from Lakehead University (English).
