About

By trade and, you might even say, personality, I am an instructional designer, a term that I only came to know later on in my life. I and my family have just moved from Western Canada to Thunder Bay, a beautiful city in Northern Ontario on the shores of Lake Superior, to seek a life in a smaller community and closer to a natural environment. With this move, I have started working as an independent consultant in the post-secondary, non-profit and development sector. I was born in Ottawa, Ontario, but have lived, studied and worked in Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Ontario. I have also lived and/or worked overseas in Germany, Ukraine, Bangladesh, and Bosnia and Herzogovina.
