Championing Learning Excellence

With over a decade of experience in continuing professional education, I've developed courses and programs, identified new program opportunities, and improved program portfolio planning. I create truly learner-centric experiences that maximize the potential of digital formats, leading to the success of both learners and education providers.

What initially attracted me to SFU was an interesting marketing role. What kept me there for 10 years was a fantastic team, meaningful work, and the opportunity to develop a robust continuing education program portfolio. In addition to assisting with enrollment and revenue growth, I helped expand online course offerings, launch 10 certificate programs, identify over 90 new course ideas, and improve program portfolio planning. It was a decade well spent.
