I inspire people to explore new possibilities and live the most extraordinary lives they can imagine. As a speaker, facilitator, and consultant I serve as a catalyst for positive change and personal growth in individuals and organizations. My academic area of expertise is language use, possibility, and empowerment. I am currently the director of student services for Purcell International Education (PIE), and also serve as an international education consultant for a few Canadian public school districts. I am passionate about experiential education and deeply curious about how other people see the world. Although trained in linguistics, my personal research is interdisciplinary and draws on relevant insights from psychology, sociology, education, and philosophy.
