Meet the Team
Area of Responsibility
As an academic advisor, I'm committed to ensuring that every student I advise has the tools and knowledge they need to thrive as they progress through their university experience. I provide guidance and information to our online Public Safety students, including degree requirements, curriculum, and relevant regulations and procedures in relation to their academic success. I take a holistic approach, which means I not only assist students with their academic needs, but also connect students online supports so their personal, educational, and health-related needs are considered.
Background
I graduated from Laurier with a BA in Communications and Contemporary Studies, and I am actively pursuing my MEd. As a proud alumna, I began working at Laurier right after I graduated in the summer of 2008. Prior to my Advising career I served as a student awards and examinations specialist, financial aid administrator, coordinator: academic development and assessment and academic advisor (on campus).
Interests
My interests include my dog, Rex, who is a miniature dachshund and travelling to tropical islands.
Area of Responsibility
As an Academic Advisor, I strive to assist and support students as they navigate through their degree pathway. I am here to provide guidance and connect students with resources that will lead them to achieving academic excellence. I enjoy working with students throughout their time at Laurier and aim to provide an optimal experience for our online students!
Background
I graduated from the Concurrent Education program at Laurier Brantford in 2013 and completed my Bachelor of Arts from Laurier and my Bachelor of Education from Nipissing. I also have my Ontario Certification of Teaching. Since 2013, I have held a variety of positions at Laurier; I have worked in various departments including Service Laurier and the Office of the Dean and have experience in curriculum records and academic development.
Interests
I love to spend time with my family; I have a toddler at home who keeps me smiling and keeps me very busy! I also enjoy going to the gym – I am a competitive, nationally-ranked powerlifter.
