Professional Experience

Professor, Digital Strategy and Applied Learning

Georgian College, Barrie, Ontario
2020 to Present

Lead the design and delivery of technology-focused learning experiences that prepare future professionals for evolving digital environments. Through curriculum development, program renewal, and applied learning initiatives, I have developed expertise in workforce development, organisational learning, digital adoption, and change readiness. This experience provides a practical understanding of how people learn new technologies, adapt to change, and build the skills required to succeed in rapidly evolving workplaces. For organisations navigating digital transformation, AI adoption, and workforce reskilling, this work offers valuable insight into building cultures that support innovation, continuous learning, and sustainable change.

Founder and Principal Consultant

The College Prof, Barrie, Ontario
2022 to Present

Developed The College Prof as a research-informed digital learning platform designed to help educators re-engage disengaged learners. The platform is grounded in my work on student persistence, belonging, academic confidence, learner identity, and the barriers that prevent students from fully participating in their education. This experience benefits organisations by demonstrating my ability to translate research into practical digital tools that improve engagement, learning outcomes, and user participation. It reflects a broader strength in designing technology-enabled systems that respond to real human behaviour, support change, and help institutions and organisations create more effective learning and development experiences.

Digital Ecosystem and AI-Ready Strategy

Independent Practice, Ontario
2018 to Present

Develop technology solutions that help organisations streamline operations, improve customer experiences, and increase organisational effectiveness. Recent projects have included business management platforms, workflow automation systems, client engagement tools, and digital learning environments designed to address specific operational and strategic challenges. This experience provides a practical understanding of how technology can be leveraged to reduce inefficiencies, improve information flow, strengthen decision-making, and support organisational growth. Rather than viewing technology as a standalone function, I approach it as a business enabler that helps organisations improve performance, adapt to change, and create sustainable competitive advantages.

Marketing Executive and Senior Strategic Marketing Professional

Various Organisations, Ontario
1994 to 2020

Led marketing, business development, customer engagement, and organisational growth initiatives across multiple sectors over a twenty-six-year professional career. Responsibilities included strategic planning, brand management, revenue generation, team leadership, budget accountability, stakeholder relations, and the implementation of digital technologies designed to improve business performance. This experience benefits organisations by bringing a proven understanding of how strategy translates into execution. Having led teams, managed budgets, served customers, and navigated periods of organisational change, I understand the pressures facing leaders and the importance of balancing innovation, operational effectiveness, customer needs, and financial performance. These experiences continue to inform my approach to leadership, transformation, and organisational growth.
