I am an Assistant Professor of Teaching Students with Exceptionalities and Educational Leadership. I am dedicated to creating inclusive learning spaces. I have thirty years of teaching and administration experience. Twenty of these years were spent as an elementary school principal. During this time, I served on a number of committees including the Principal's Advisory Committe for Special Education and the District Advisory Committee for Indigenous Education. I also served as the Coordinator for the New Teacher Induction Program (a role I held for seven years).

My research focuses on inclusive education, leadership, the use of technology to create equitable online learning spaces and novice teachers.

I am the recipient of the 2023 Vice-Provost (Academic Programs) Award for Excellence in Online and Blended Teaching and the 2020 Canadian Educational Researchers’ Association, Todd Rogers Research Award.
