I am fascinated by education systems and enjoy thinking creatively about how we can use technology to make them more equitable and socially-impactful. I believe learners are best served when education technology is informed by learning science and the values of their community. 

I have played different roles in my career:

  • High school teacher
  • Education researcher
  • University lecturer
  • EdTech executive
  • Founding partner
  • Startup advisor
  • Non-profit board member

Each role has deepened my knowledge, diversified my perspective, and built my network in the Canadian and US ecosystems.
