ABOUT ME
Have you ever met a person without a story? People tell their stories through their words, their actions and their abilities; through what they produce, the problems they solve and the opportunities they create. My own story can be heard through what I challenge, the limits I push, and the alternative perspectives I offer.
I'm different. I've never quite fit into a slot that others carved for me. I'm a rebel. An advocate. A non-conformist. I learn rules only to change them. Routine is my vice and boredom is my enemy. I'm a creative. A wordsmith. A people-reader. A Superhero waiting to happen.
In 2013, I returned to university and graduated with a B.Ed. from Brock University and a Master's of Adult Education from UBC. I have studied at 7 different universities around the world, with the highlight of my education being a month long field study in Cape Town, South Africa. While writing over one hundred essays over the course of four years, I learned the craft of writing very concisely. Bored with standardized essays, I soon pushed the envelope by submitting creative projects, proving that there was indeed a more creative way to share and prove my knowledge. Creativity and storytelling ARE my Superpowers.
I am an "idea person" however, I also have the education and skills to develop those big abstract ideas into concrete tangible results. I have a proven track record of implementing my creative ideas to fruition, whether in community programming (Cyber Seniors - Sarnia), events (Youth Volunteer Expo), or as a TV Talk-Show Host (Community Conversations). I have the education and experience to create curriculum or improve existing training or educational programs. Let me help you define your Superpower, differentiate yourself from the pack, and design your delivery in a way that resonates with people who need you the most.
