Other Expertise: Prior to retraining as a secondary science specialist, I worked for 10 years in the agricultural biotechnology sector - first as a lab technician and then in the capacity of regulatory affairs officer. I have experience working with events - volunteering with and then running the office for the Canada-Wide Science Fair when it was hosted in Saskatoon in 2002. I also have published scientific articles and educational research and curriculum documents. I am currently honing my public speaking skills, having recently spoken at IdeaWave.ca in Victoria and TEDxComoxValley.
Other Accomplishments: Recent speaking gigs have included IdeaWave and TEDxComoxValley.

I help clients find or create work they LOVE. My ‘Personal Brand-ifesto’, encourages people to take a new perspective on work by thinking of themselves not as ‘human resources’ but as human beings who have the right and responsibility to themselves, their families and their communities to find or create work they LOVE. I help people uncover and leverage their strengths and create effective personal marketing strategies allowing them to build long-term work-life success. I now work predominantly with groups of post-secondary students, providing motivational speaking and hands-on workshops designed to help people take a new perspective on work and giving them the tools they need to make it a reality. My public speaking presentations are based on a theme of work and career-education empowerment for students and adults alike. I'm stoked that my presentations have been described as ‘humourous and compelling’ on Twitter! In a ‘past life’ as a secondary school educator, I engaging a wide variety of young adults in their education and future careers, regardless of area or level of study. I've gladly worked with students in modified, regular and advanced stream programming, and was honoured to be selected to work with colleagues on the re-design of a ‘Career and Academic Readiness’ program for ‘at-risk’ students. A former principal and mentor described me as an ‘ethical educational leader’, but in my estimation, the highest accolade came when I overheard one student telling another, ‘just go and ask her, she’ll explain it to you so you get it.’
