Background

I have been involved with educational development in higher education for over 20 years, in a variety of settings, including working at the the University of Guelph since 1998. I currently work as the Director of Teaching Support Services.

Previously, I worked as a social worker, helping those with barriers to the workplace to overcome them through personal and professional development as well access to technological and access tools.

My philosophy of my work, be it as an educator or as a social worker, can best be summarised as follows:

"Provide every opportunity for success, including the opportunity NOT to."
