I have been lucky to serve as a senior level executive for over 30 years in the education sector:
• Lead consultant for seven years at the BC Ministry of Education and central in development of policy, agreements, and e-learning standards
• Develop, pilot, lead and implement the Quality Review process for BC online K-12 schools
• Consulted for BCcampus and eCampusAlberta
• Recently took on the role of Chief Executive Officer for the Canadian eLearning Network while continuing other contract work
• I am an adjunct professor at Vancouver Island University teaching online

I am passionate about online and technology-supported blended learning, still looking to change the system, now from without instead of within!
