a little bit about me!

I am a versatile professional with close to 30 years’ experience gained through a variety of progressive positions within health, non-profit and government organizations including 19 years of facilitation and consulting experience. I've been on the front line and have held middle and senior management positions so I understand the challenges facing staff at different levels. I love designing and delivering interactive sessions that help teams and groups accomplish their goals and build healthier communities.

I have a friendly and engaging facilitation style that has helped numerous groups and organizations overcome inertia and move from ideas to action! I am a strategic thinker with the ability to ask focused questions and design interactive processes that harness the collective wisdom of all participants for mutual benefit.

I earned a Master’s Degree in Recreation from the University of Waterloo and have undergone extensive training in management and leadership development augmented with numerous courses in facilitation. I am fond of inspirational quotes and Earl Grey Tea. I love to be outdoors - hiking, cycling, swimming and cross-country skiing. I also like to snuggle up with a good book or a challenging cross-word puzzle.

I'd love to hear about the great work you are doing and help you turn your ideas into action. You can send your updates, questions and comments to me at caconsulting@cogeco.ca or by using our online form.
