Prior to becoming a teacher, trainer and coach, I worked for 20+ years in the entertainment industry in Canada as a performer, writer, director, producer and technician in professional theatre, music, film and television production. I also have twenty years- plus experience working in a wide variety of sectors in Canada- both public and private- including oil and gas exploration, health care, retail sales and forest protection. After attending a weekend coaching workshop as a part of my professional development, I was inspired to enter the Adler Professional Coaching Certificate Program and since then I have continued to learn and grow as a partner to variety of individuals and organizations. I love the work I do because it provides me with the opportunity to learn and share, and I'm also proud to be a partner to people engaged in making positive change. Currently, I also teach English online and face-to-face in private or small group lessons, helping people reach their goals in language learning.
