For the past nine years it has been my privilege to be a Professor and the Coordinator for Career Pathways - a program designed to meet the needs of neuro-divergent students who have experienced challenges in traditional learning environments. Each and every day that I work with student with Learning Disabilities I gain insight and learn from their strengths. Our Career Pathways team has been nominated for the President's Award on multiple occasions. Prior to this I taught politics and cultural history to media students from Broadcasting Radio, Television and Journalism here at Mohawk College. My educational background is in cultural and intellectual history and I studied at McMaster, Western University and the University of Toronto. I have presented papers at major universities including the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, University of Pennsylvania and University of California, Berkeley. I am the co-author of Connect to Your Career: Job Search Skills in a Digital World (2019). 
I enjoy meeting prospective students and encourage you to contact me to arrange a virtual meeting or tour of the college and learn more about our program.
