Bio/Research

I've spent nearly 30 years in a variety of education and skills-training environments, as well as research, strategic planning and program development roles. I served in academic and senior administration roles at the University of Waterloo and Laurier and held appointments on the Brantford Campus, in the Faculty of Arts, and at the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics.

I led Laurier's strategic bid to become a ChangeMaker Campus. As the Director of Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship, the Campus Change Leader, and Executive Director of the Schlegel Centre for Entrepreneurship, I developed extensive curricular and co-curricular social innovation programming across Laurier.

Prior to my academic career, I spent a decade as a project manager, consultant and business owner in the Information Technology sector. In addition to my career in the university sector, I have taught foreign languages at the high school level, developed employability and skills (re)training programs for federal and municipal government, taught information technology at the college level and English as a Foreign Language (EFL/ESL) to adults. I ran a private consulting business on information managment and continue to consult for small to medium size enterprises concerned with enhancing their social and environmental impact.
