  Thompson Rivers University-Faculty of Education and Social Work

    • Dec 2018 - Present
    • Kamloops, BC

    I believe in the power of education and love working in an academic setting. In this job, I get to share both. I want to help adult basic education students navigate various systems at Thompson Rivers University whether the student goal is to complete the application and registration process or to access resources. My goal is to foster an environment where students can be successful in their courses so they can move on to their desired program.

Now I'm slowly getting back into it.

  Kamloops Classic Swim Club

  • Novice Coach and Head Olympic Way Instructor

    • Sep 2005 - Jun 2009

    I coached entry level swimmers in the Novice program and a more competitive group, Age Group 1, with the intent that they would compete in jamborees and then regular meets once they qualified. I also oversaw the Olympic Way program, hiring, training and supervising instructors. I created and conducted a parents' night, so parents new to the program could gain a better understanding of expectations and standards. I also contributed to the club newsletter.
