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.

Growing Yourself as a Learning Facilitator

Angela, great methods to staying current in the field. I think this also shows that we don't have to "run" with every new idea, but making sure that we note the new ideas in the field & help our students evaluate them through proven methods. Dr. Ryan Meers
