I have a B.Ed with a special education major from the University of Alberta and I worked for many years as a teacher for Edmonton Public Schools. I completed a masters degree in Special Education at the University of Alberta and I am currently completing my Ph.D. in Special Education.

My interests include: learning disabilities, social skills instruction, collaborating with parents, and augmentative communication. I am very excited about the Diploma in Inclusive Education as I believe it offers individuals a great opportunity to increase their skills and knowledge in the area of working with special needs students in regular education settings.
