I am an artist, teacher and researcher actively pursuing a Phd in Education and arts-integrated research through the Faculty of Education at Lakehead University. In the past I have taught design studies as well as designed contemporary ceramics curricula and delivered programming for schools (k-12), alternative education, congregate care, adult educationand not for profit settings. My current practice as an educator and an artist is exploring how arts-based inquiries can be used to generate transformative change and critical reflection.
