Teachers

I am a passionate and experienced teacher, life-learner, homeschool parent and entrepreneur. Teaching is my calling and I have been practicing the teacher’s craft for over 35 years. Teaching students of all levels motivates me to develop engaging, comprehensive and relevant courses and materials. A strong believer in life-long learning, I hold several teaching certifications [MEd, BEd] and have several years of experience teaching individuals with learning disabilities. More importantly, I have taught everyone from small children to seniors and everything from basic life skills to advanced business, technology, language, and science/mathematics. I use a variety of innovative pedagogical strategies to simplify and make accessible complex concepts to students of all levels, backgrounds and abilities. I fundamentally believe that, given the right circumstances and strategies, anyone can learn anything.

Personable, energetic, with a zeal for learning, I have over 20 years of Program Evaluation, Performance Measurement, Project Management, People Management and Strategic Planning experience with government, not-for-profit and private sectors. Working in various departments and agencies of the federal government, on international and domestic files, I bring an inside understanding of the technical competencies, strengths and challenges facing the Public Service. I have facilitated numerous workshops in Project Management, Program Evaluation, Train-the-Trainer and Change Management. I also have significant experience in stakeholder consultations, policy analysis and reporting, program monitoring and evaluation, qualitative and quantitative experimental design and analysis, contracting, grant/proposal writing, corporate planning, business process re-engineering and supervision.
