About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Lynette, this is a great point. I go back to my theatre days & remember as director I tried to sit in a seat in every section of the theatre so I can see the production from the audience's perspective. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
