Shortly after obtaining my master’s in Mathematics in 1998, I began teaching Math and Stats at various post-secondary institutions, in both English and French, in Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia. Since I began at Okanagan College in 2006, I have met many wonderful people – students, staff, and faculty members alike. In 2018, I returned to graduate studies with the support of the College and began a master’s in arts in Education at UBC Okanagan. After successfully defending my thesis, I was inspired to continue my research and enrolled in a doctoral program.  I have since defended my dissertation but continue to be involved in research. My research continues to focus on contemplative pedagogy, supporting students with math anxiety, and building community in the math classroom.
