My Expertise

I’m a Certified Teacher & Learning Specialist

I’m a certified teacher here in BC and graduated from Uvic. I have been employed as a Learning & Development Specialist, staff trainer and curriculum/course creator, and have knowledge and experience around adult learning theory. I’m a seasoned facilitator and have created and led workshops, team days, and community of practice groups.

I Offer Virtual Facilitation

With the way of today’s business world changing to adapt to increase opportunities for teleworking and having staff located in different places, I offer, the much needed and sought after virtual facilitation skillset. I have led many learning programs, communities of practice, training sessions and even full day team days virtually. This is a skill that is needed as many workplaces are making the switch to remote working opportunities and limiting travel budgets.

With over 160+ participants live on the call the program covered topics such as Increasing Employee Engagement, Effective Communication for Various Audiences, Performance Management, Self Awareness & Utilizing Feedback and much more.

I’M CERTIFIED IN THE RESILIENCE AT WORK TOOLKIT

I have completed my certification in the Resilience at Work (R@W) Toolkit.

How I Got Here

As a mother, diving into the topic of self-awareness helped me during the time where I felt a bit lost between what my “old” life looked like before kids and my new role as a parent. I truly feel investing the time and energy into this work has made me a better partner and parent with a deeper understanding of my needs, my communication style, the love languages of myself and my family,

I have also dealt with some serious health conditions including a challenging and rare auto immune diagnosis in 2010. In December 2018, I was diagnosed with my third auto-immune illness, I made myself a promise that I wouldn’t develop a fourth diagnosis and that something needed to change. I felt that I was internalizing stress and it created disease in my body. Turning to the work around coaching, making the investment in a coach myself helped immensely. I have learnt a great deal around self awareness, learning about my blocks and triggers and the importance of self-love and how I need to fill my cup before helping others.

Resilience has been an area of interest for me since my health diagnoses. Life can be tough and full of challenges. Learning skills around resilience will help you stay emotionally, physically and mentally fit. Resilience is the ability to positively adjust or adapt to change or adversity.

I feel more free in my own skin, now that I’m doing work aligned with my soul’s purpose and deeply happy and grateful I found this path, my calling.
