Biography

I have been engaged in preservice teacher development and field experiences as a teacher in K-12 classrooms, as well as in my work in preservice teacher preparation at Ambrose. My course design and content is focused on Universal Design for Learning and ethical inclusion in teaching and learning. My research interests include pre-service and early career teacher identity, the socialization and professionalization of teachers, Indigenous pedagogies in teaching and learning, and critical studies of field experience.

I recently co-edited an academic book on the response of various Bachelor of Education programs in Canada to the Covid pandemic. The authors shared challenges as well as successes, with a focus on opportunities for productive change learned from their response to emerging issues and needs. I have also enjoyed participating in an inter-institutional study that resulted in the creation of a series of modules on classroom culture and student engagement as a component of a Design-Based Research project exploring preservice teacher confidence and readiness with classroom management.

I love exploring bookstores, spending time with my friends and family, learning, and yoga.
