  I define myself as a person who is determined, responsible, adaptable and compassionate. I am known to be an effective collaborator by having a keen awareness of the responsibility to every stakeholder I contact. I am a dynamic facilitator given the various roles I have been given within the academic and educational settings. When not working, I enjoy listening to music, attending theatre, reading a good book and watching movies and television. I aim to be a savant on everything pop-culture. Lastly, I enjoy spending time with my aging Chocolate Lab Vizsla mix, Maddie. I love to grow my PLN, cone one, come all. Let's do this!
