Prior to joining NIC's Metal Fabricator and Welding programs at the Campbell River
campus in 2019, I held positions in both industry and post-secondary education in
Northern BC. I have a solid trades background in the steel industry as a hands-on
dual ticketed Red Seal tradesperson. With over nine years instructional experience
and two years as an associate dean of trades, my students are my priority. As an educator
I am committed to my students through continually refining program content and development
to keep up with industry trends. I am actively involved with industry representatives
to ensure NIC meets or exceeds the high standards of the Industry Training Authority
and ensures students are given the tools for success in the work force, which is the
main goal.
