Global Engagement Staff Listing
Learn more about the Global Engagement team! We are here to provide you with intercultural learning opportunities and to answer any questions you have about student mobility.
We also have a great team of Global Engagement Student Ambassadors (GESAs) who are available to chat and provide you with more information about being globally engaged.
In Waterloo, drop by Laurier International's lounge to chat with a GESA volunteer from Monday to Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. effective January 12th to February 3rd. Many GESAs have been on exchange, have international experience, or have participated in our programs. Find out how to connect with our GESAs. Laurier International is between the Arts and Peters buildings in 2A01.
I work on Laurier’s Waterloo campus supporting student mobility programs including faculty-led programs abroad, and international internships. I support incoming exchange students to Laurier. I also facilitate International at Home programs including the Intercultural Certificate, and have acted as the staff advisor for the WUSC Local Committee for the past six years. As a graduate of Laurier’s Social Justice and Community Engagement (MA) program I can relate to the challenges and rewards of student life!

I enjoy supporting students who are seeking outgoing exchange opportunities to study abroad for 1 or 2 terms, or a couple of weeks in the summer. I studied in Paris for four months on exchange during my undergrad, and it was such a meaningful experience to learn about myself, my own culture and another culture. I love ice cream, yoga, talking about travel and learning words in other languages. Learn more about the Student Exchange Program, and I look forward to connecting with you!

Prior to my time at Laurier, I worked in many regions of Canada and many countries around the world including Kenya, Tanzania, India, Thailand, South Africa, Ukraine, Peru and Costa Rica.

I have been working in post-secondary international education for over 18 years developing and supporting international mobility programs, International at Home programs, international project management and international travel risk management.
At Laurier, I manage the Global Engagement Unit, which supports our community to be engaged and aware citizens of an increasingly complex world by engaging Laurier students in experiential learning to build meaningful relationships across cultural differences; value the importance of diverse perspectives; and possess a heightened awareness and curiosity of global matters. We are committed to the transformative potential of international and intercultural education to graduate global citizens.
