Teaching.

My passion is teaching as a professor.

I am ideally suited to teach socially-oriented entrepreneurship courses; this could be social entrepreneurship, social innovation, social enterprise development, rural entrepreneurship or entrepreneurship for artists/creatives. My degrees speak to this expertise: BSc Environmental Planning, Masters Environmental Design and Doctorate (candidate) Social Sciences. I even have a diploma in Fish & Wildlife Management - yes, I love the outdoors, the environment and the social connections. I view entrepreneurship as a tool to make a difference and protect what is important to communities.

I'm hungry to work again and be back in service to students. If you're looking for someone with an unconventional, real-world, project-applied approach using active learning teaching techniques to get young minds excited about entrepreneurship, I'm your person.
