I lead challenge-based STEM programs that build high school students' confidence, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
What I'm looking for
At Shad Canada, I lead delivery of the UNB summer program, supporting students through design challenges and shaping their overall program experience. Since returning to Shad in 2019, I've progressed from Program Assistant to Program Manager, Design Lead, and Program Director.
I've also led large-scale engineering outreach at the University of New Brunswick, developing curriculum, training instructors, coordinating school visits, and delivering hands-on programming to thousands of youth across New Brunswick. My civil engineering background and experience managing municipal infrastructure, construction, and field engineering projects help me connect STEM concepts to practical, real-world problem-solving.
