I am a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria, BC. My dissertation is a phenomenological study of the lived experiences of university educators when encountering barriers as they use open education resources in their teaching practices.

I have been designing instruction and teaching in universities and colleges since 2002. I am currently a limited-term instructor with the Faculty of Education at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, located in Oshawa, Ontario.

My research focus is on university educators’ motivation to use and adopt different technologies into their teaching practices

When I’m not working I’m taking my mutt for long walks, riding my motorcycle, or watching CFL football.
