How I can help you
I am a researcher and educator with fifteen years of experience working at the intersection of adult learning, aging, language, and community. My work is peer-reviewed, community-tested, and grounded in sustained partnerships with organizations across Canada and internationally.
I take on a small number of consulting and research partnerships each year with organizations whose work and values are genuinely aligned with mine.
If you have asked yourselves any of the questions below, I am ready to support you in transforming your practice.
