Faculty Profiles

Lee's history with MHC goes back to 1983 when she started her post-secondary education, She met her career goals initially though her social work undergraduate degree where she was able to help clients get their needs met and returned to MHC as a counsellor with Student Services in 1995.  The opportunity to teach with ELCC began in 2003 when she started her MSW degree with a Specialization in Leadership while also having her private practice delivering trauma-focused therapy to children, youth and adults. Her research focus was exploring continuing education needs for rural social workers which yielded course development and delivery of a foundational Supervision course through the Faculty of Social Work at U of C, where she continues to teach as a sessional instructor.
