Bio/Research

I am currently an assistant professor in the Faculty of Education. I hold a PhD in Curriculum and Pedagogy from OISE/University of Toronto, a MEd in Policy Studies with a specialization in Theoretical, Cultural, and International Studies in Education from the University of Alberta, and a BEd (holding primary/junior qualifications as well as intermediate/senior qualifications in First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Studies) and a BA from Trent University.

I have been a classroom teacher in grades 5 – 9 and have taught pre-service teacher education at the University of Alberta, Trent University, Brock University, and Wilfrid Laurier University. I have been an invited lecturer in the BEd program at Bishop's University and the MEd program at Trent University. I have also served as a practicum supervisor for many years at multiple institutions where I have taught. My primary teaching focus has been in the areas of Indigenization and decolonization, First Nations, Métis and Inuit studies in education, social studies, history and geography methods, equity and diversity in schooling, and curriculum foundations.
