While I have worked in the inclusion field since the late 1990’s, my focus shifted to inclusive education just over a decade ago when I became an education assistant at a local school district. I was also part of a Behaviour Intervention team which has always been a passion of mine and allowed me to build my education in applied behavioural analysis. I am continuing my education with my Master’s in Clinical Counselling Psychology.
After over 35 years, I am still very passionate about the field of Early Childhood Education (ECE). I have been fortunate enough to have spent the last 10 years sharing that passion with ECE students at Sprott Shaw. Prior to teaching, I owned and operated two large learning facilities and advocated at various levels for ECEs, children, and families.
In 2016, I started teaching in the Practical Nursing program at Sprott Shaw. I enjoy helping students become nurses who make differences in people’s lives. I have also worked in healthcare since 2014 at various care homes. My qualifications include: Graduate Nurse International Education 2012, BSN 2007, and RCA 2003
As a two-time former mature student from Sprott Shaw, I am proof of the kind of inspiration that dedicated instructors can inspire. I bring with me over 12 years of experience in the healthcare industry. As a Health Care Assistant (HCA) instructor, my mandate is to ensure compassionate, dignified, and respectful care to vulnerable residents in the community.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Australia and have over 20 years of healthcare teaching experience. I am a Registered Psychiatric Nurse and have worked in outpost nursing as far north as Nunavut. I have also spent many years as the Director of Care and Executive Director at various complex care facilities.
I am a graduate of Sprott Shaw and have 13 years of experience as a licensed practical nurse (LPN). I have 5 years of experience working at Ridge Meadows Hospital in acute care, subacute, and hospice. In addition to this, I also have 7 years of experience working in pediatric home care in the Fraser Valley.
For over 45 years, I have been a teacher and mentor to students during my military career and time with Sprott Shaw. I am a recipient of “The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal” and have been part-owner of a small business, financial officer of a non-profit, and registrar of a national association. I was also an early adaptor of computers, word processing, spreadsheets, accounting programs, and website development.
After gaining my Bachelor of Arts , I completed a Masters of Arts in Newfoundland. I have been in the adult education field for the past 4 years, working primarily as an instructor with Sprott Shaw. In addition to teaching courses in business, I have spent the past 19 years working in human resources and currently run my own consulting firm.
After graduating from Sprott Shaw in 2004 with an Honours Diploma in Medical Office Administrator (MOA) / Pharmacy, I have gained over a decade of experience in the MOA and pharmacy fields. I am also a certified Medical Transcriptionist. In 2013, I joined Sprott Shaw as an instructor and curriculum writer.
