What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute as a teacher in Catholic education today and grow into future leadership opportunities.

At Edmonton Catholic School Division, I plan and deliver curriculum-aligned instruction across elementary and secondary grades, including Grades 2 and 9–12. I adapt lessons for students with diverse learning abilities and use SMART Boards to support learning.

At the Government of Canada’s Federal Department of Women and Gender Equality Canada, I managed a national multi-million-dollar grant portfolio and trained staff and stakeholders on program requirements. I also prepared briefing notes and recommendations for senior leadership.

My work at the University of Calgary included leading four research projects on topics such as academic integrity and student learning, and producing policy briefs on racial equity. I hold a PhD in Educational Research (Leadership) and Alberta Teaching Certification.
