I am an experienced educator and professor with a Master of Arts degree and over a decade of teaching in post-secondary institutions. My expertise lies in curriculum development, having spearheaded the complete redesign of courses to include historically underrepresented narratives, such as Indigenous and Black contributions to music. I specialize in creating dynamic, project-based learning environments that utilize self and peer assessment to foster student engagement and leadership. My teaching philosophy extends beyond content delivery to nurturing practical, entrepreneurial skills and cultural awareness, preparing students for professional success. Certified by the Ontario College of Teachers and holding multiple professional qualifications, I am committed to innovative pedagogy, continuous process improvement, and adapting instructional methods to diverse learning needs across various disciplines, including music, psychology, and sociology.
