An award-winning eLearning designer and media developer

Born and raised on Vancouver Island, it’s wonderful to be back here again, doing the work I love. My career path has taken me from British Columbia to Alberta to South Korea and back to BC again. Thanks to broadband and advanced communication technologies, my work is now entirely remote. This began two years prior to the pandemic because my body of ongoing multimedia work requires an office that doubles as a film studio and allows me to maximize productivity.

From 1994 until  2009, I was a special needs, English literature, and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher for students of all ages and backgrounds. In 2009, after completing the Cambridge University Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA), I focused my teaching practice on adult learners and, from 2010 until 2017, I taught public speaking, filmmaking, and EFL at Hanyang University in South Korea.

While teaching there, I earned my Master of Educational Technology from the University of British Columbia and began using a blended learning (hybrid) approach to all my courses.

Upon returning to Canada in 2017, I accepted a contract position as an instructional designer at Royal Roads University and in 2018 I joined the Learning and Development team at First West Credit Union.
