Welcome to EDCI 336! I look forward to being a part of your learning journey in the course.

I have over 30 years of experience in the government, academic, and corporate sectors, transitioning from a 15-year career as a K-12 teacher and school administrator to a K-12 strategic consultant. My doctoral studies focused on leadership in computer-mediated learning, which paved the way for senior roles in both government, non-profit and private sectors. I have designed and taught graduate courses and programs, supervised master’s students, consulted for various government, private, and nonprofit organizations, and overseen complex research grants.

My professional practice is built on integrity, humility, and the principles of servant leadership. I am dedicated to building capacity in others and applying leadership principles to guide individuals and organizations through the intersection of AI and K-12 education. I look forward to empowering UVic students to leverage technology effectively.
