Continuing Faculty (Vancouver)
I have been teaching at CityU since 2012, working in both the MC and the MEd programs. Prior to that, I co-ordinated the degree program in Child and Youth Care at Douglas College for many years. I had a long career, working in social services prior to becoming an educator. I have 3 Masters degrees and a PhD and I am a master Gardener for Van Dusen Botanical Gardens.
Research
My research interests include standards of practice, accreditation of agencies, research methodology and the reality of the student experience
Teaching
I believe in the importance of creating a rich and respectful environment in which students can grow and thrive. I believe in the importance of integrating theory with practice in order for our students to be prepared to work in the counseling world.
