Began teaching at MHC: 2023

I have over two decades (yikes that makes me old) of experience in sales and marketing, having held roles such as entrepreneur, sales and territory manager, project manager, and team manager. I now find myself in a privileged position, entrusted with shaping the minds of tomorrow's business leaders at the Medicine Hat College School of Business. It's a role that I embrace wholeheartedly, and I work hard to inspire, prepare, and empower the next generation of leaders.

As an educator, I am passionate about experiential learning. I integrate real-world projects into my courses, giving students hands-on opportunities to collaborate with community partners, organize events, and work with local businesses. This approach has earned our cohorts media coverage, including features in the Medicine Hat News and social media mentions by local organizations. I strive to create connections and opportunities for students that they wouldn't get outside the classroom.

I am committed to creating a fun, positive, engaging classroom environment where students feel excited, inspired, and motivated. You can usually hear my classroom from the hallway laughing or collaborating (loudly). It is my hope that students look forward to coming to class (even when its a boring topic) because of the way they feel when they leave the class!

The highlight of my career so far was being nominated for the Teacher of the Year award by my students in 2023. I hope that I can make a positive, lasting impact on my students' educational journeys.
