Professor

Education

I am a high energy, highly organized people-person with a passion for community development. My gender pronouns are she, her, hers. As a professor, I specialize in the Management of Community Services. In my dissertation, I am studying how and why new industries emerge in remote regions. As a researcher, I focus on 1) human resource management, 2) regional economic development, and 3) libraries. As a teaching-stream faculty member, my research informs my teaching practice. For most of my career I have worked with Indigenous peoples and the Calls To Action for Truth & Reconciliation influence a lot of my work.
