I have a diverse role which includes providing coordination of all accommodated exam and educational supports for students registered with the Accessible Learning Centre and managing all volunteers, paid student and casual staff (note takers, tutors, work study students, invigilators). In addition to this, I facilitate the summer transition program and registration for incoming first-year students and act as a first line of response to questions/concerns from students, faculty, and staff concerning the Accessible Learning Centre. Collaborating with other departments, volunteers and staff, I coordinate initiatives for department and campus-wide Accessible Learning Centre events.

Area of Responsibility
In my position, I support in the facilitation of all in-class tests, mid-terms, deferred and final examinations written by students registered with the Accessible Learning Centre. I primarily provide this support after hours during evenings and weekends. In my role I have the opportunity to work alongside other Accessible Learning staff, faculty and students.
I see my position as one small part of a bigger support system at Accessible Learning that works together to ensure that all students feel capable and confident in working towards their degree. I am passionate about all individuals, despite diagnoses, labels and hardships, not only having access to education, but also having the opportunity to enjoy learning. I approach the work that I do with this mindset in hopes to achieve a less stressful environment for students while writing tests, midterms and finals. In my role, I also approach interactions with students, faculty and other staff with these ideas in order to achieve a more inclusive post-secondary environment overall.
Background
I started my position with Laurier in October 2018. Prior to working at Laurier I was employed through Extend-A-Family and House of Friendship. I also attended the University of Waterloo and received my Bachelor in Social Work (BSW).
