Program: 2nd year BEd, Technological Education 

Background: I am a mature student with an advanced diploma in construction engineering technology from George Brown College. I also hold an undergraduate degree in commerce specializing in Finance at Athabasca University. I’ve worked in the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) industry for upwards of a decade and am contemplating graduate level studies. As a teacher’s college student, being a transition coach will allow me to become a better teacher in the classroom as well my program will enhance my quality of care for mature and part-time students.  

Some of my favorite hobbies are yoga, martial arts, extreme sports, reading and so much more depending on the time of year. 

Quote: A quote I feel valuable as a transition coach is “External things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.” – Marcus Aurelius 

Program: 3rd Year BES (Honours), Cities, Regions, Planning

Background: I’m a mature student with an Honours Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from Humber College. Before returning to school, I worked as a health insurance provider for four years. As someone who has taken a non‑traditional path, my role as a transition coach allows me to support students navigating similar journeys—offering practical strategies, encouragement, and a sense of community through change.

Hobbies: Coaching volleyball, reading psychology and philosophy, learning tennis and spending summers outdoors camping, hiking and exploring nature.
