About
In my role as department co-coordinator, I liaise with Therapeutic Recreation professionals and community groups to ensure the department delivers high educational standards and prepares students for professional practice in a wide range of therapeutic recreation settings. As an instructor in the Therapeutic Recreation program, I teach in the areas of life span development, inclusion, mental health, current issues in Therapeutic Recreation and supervise students on practicum.
One of the strengths of our Therapeutic Recreation Department is the creation of shared space and collaborating with students, faculty and community to enhance teaching and learning.

Research summary
Research interests include exploring and understanding transformative learning and the lived experience of students and clients in practicum settings; how the intersectionality of engagement, interdependence and valued social roles can shift perspectives, change meaning making and transform lives. I am actively involved in the Uganda Project, including past coordination of the student practicum project and the International Youth Internship program (IYIP).
