I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the School of Education, Communication & Society at King’s College London. After achieving my PhD at UBC, I held a two-year postdoctoral position at the Centre for Global Citizenship Education and Research at the University of Alberta. I was a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow and a 2018 National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation postdoctoral fellow. When I started my PhD at UBC, I had already worked for over a decade at the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning in Hamburg. My doctoral research very much built on my professional experience as I wrote my dissertation on the history of the concept of lifelong learning in UNESCO. My research focuses on global governance of education and the influence of international organizations on educational ideas and policies.

Reinventing myself, over and over: After 13 years as a high school chemistry teacher, I burned out. What does one do with a B.Sc. and a B.Ed. if not teach? I started working as a medical trainer in the pharmaceutical industry. I fell in love with adult learning, but was repulsed by the pharmaceutical industry. What now? On to an M.Ed. in adult and workplace learning at Queen’s. I couldn’t get enough! I had to do my PhD. I quit my job, moved to BC with my teen sons and re-started life as a (broke!) student. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! It’s challenging leaving school at 50! New to this field, you are under-experienced, but 25+ years of experience also means you are over qualified for entry level jobs! Luckily, my connections at UBC led to work as a Research Manager for UBC’s Centre for Health Education Scholarship. Then, I was the Senior Educational Programs Manager for the School of Population and Public Health. Now I am a curriculum consultant with the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology. It’s an amazing career! I work with programs across the university renewing existing degree programs and developing new ones. I work with creative, intelligent people, help make education better for students, and I learn so much about so many different areas of study! ….and I’m an actor because it’s fun!
