I was born in Vancouver, BC. In my misspent youth, I dabbled in poetry and worked as a freelance and full-time newspaper reporter, both locally and in Toronto. But for most of my career, I taught academic, business, and professional writing and communications for post-secondary institutions in Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Troy, NY. My most recent position with Simon Fraser University’s Student Learning Commons gave me a capstone opportunity to develop writing workshops across disciplines and train peer tutors to help other student writers.
I’ve also created customized writing workshops for a number of public and private organizations and adapted writing and grammar courses for wholly online delivery.
