Math & Technology (K-12).
As a STEM educator, I've worked with students in the K-12 system for my entire career. In my early career I taught secondary school students algorithms and basic programming using Java and HTML5. For K-7 learners I've taught students:
- Graphic design skills using Photoshop

- Film & Animation using iMovie & BrushNinja
- Game design & Coding using Scratch & Minecraft Education
on both computers and iPads.
Skilled Tradespeople.
In my current role, I produce eLearning and classroom training for skilled tradespeople across Canada. Specializing in interactive learning I'm responsible for creating learning experiences that are immersive and engaging in topics such as:
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Indigenous Awareness
- Financial Literacy
- Reading & Document Use
- Red Seal Test Prep
These learning opportunities include scenario-based simulations, custom HTML5 interactions, and hand-crafted videos.
Vancouver Police Department.
Prior to my current role I worked at the Vancouver Police Department as a Curriculum Design Specialist. My primary commitments were to create effective eLearning & blended-learning courses to prepare officers for their duties. Examples of courses and programs I helped develop include:
- Anti-Racism Training
- Search & Canvass
- Special Municipal Constable Program

- VPD Onboarding Program
English Language Learners.
Newcomers to Canada must show that they are proficient in speaking, reading, listening, and writing English and can take proficiency test to prove it. I worked with the creators of the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) to build study materials to maximize the test-takers' likelihood of success. This included prep guides, textbooks and webinars.
