I have been with Athabasca University since 2000, as a librarian until 2007, and as a part-time academic instructor since 2004. I approach subjects from an interdisciplinary perspective and have a strong commitment to supporting student success. I completed my SSHRC-funded doctoral research through the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria.
