About
My clinical background in Therapeutic Recreation is varied, and I have extensive experience in mental health, adolescent psychiatry, and have also worked as a Therapeutic Recreation supervisor in acute care and in community settings. I currently work as a consultant with the Foundry.
My passions and interests are with health promotion, fitness, group leadership, and mentoring others. I value innovative and collaborative practice and learning. It is inspiring to work at Douglas College and engage with future leaders in the field of Therapeutic Recreation. I am excited for the year ahead!
