Biography
Bees are known to be hard workers, effective collaborators, and harmonious beings—and that’s who I strive to be as an educational developer at the Curriculum and Instruction Division at CEE. Besides working through EDI through inclusive teaching, critical pedagogy, and anti-oppression education, I am a motherscholar, a daughter, a friend, and a huge fan of forests! My grandparents are within who I am, and every day I strive to honour them wherever they are, and in all I do.
I have a PhD in History and Indigenous Studies from University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), and I have been a faculty member and a multidisciplinary scholar privileged to learn and unlearn from a range of experiences in communities and institutions such as the University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Community College, Quest University, McGill University, John Abbott College, among others.
