About Me

Welcome to my professional website!

 

 

 

I am an associate professor of social work at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I have ~ two decades of social work practice experience in direct practice, leadership, clinical supervision, and education. I am passionate about advancing social work education and practice, reducing barriers to accessing health and mental health services, and eliminating gender-based violence. Ongoing engagement with community is central to this process. 

It is my hope that our paths will cross one day and we can work, teach, and learn together.
