Academic Teaching
Here you will find the latest news on the different courses I am teaching (or recently taught) at Queen's and St. Lawrence College. Occasionally, I will post photos and stories from our sessions to give you a peek at what is happening in our classes. Community members who are interested in taking a course with me can check out Picnic & Pencil for my public workshop offerings in person and online.​

Teacher Candidate, Queen's University
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the class and look forward to applying all that I have learned from you over these last few weeks. Thank you for being so genuine and creating a warm environment to learn in... grateful for time spent in your class.

I wanted to thank you for this amazing opportunity! Thank you for teaching this course. I wouldn't want any other teacher but you to teach this course.
Research Interests
My primary research interests are spirituality in learning, teacher training, and arts education.
My MA research (University of Toronto, 2006) focused on women's laughter and stand up comedy, and my PhD research (Queen's, 2022) looked at spirituality in learning. I am passionate about making research more accessible and useful to scholarly and mainstream audiences.
​
Research Talks
Research made accessible.
I am available to speak to groups, classes, workplaces, special interest and wellness groups, etc. on topics related to best practices in teaching and learning, creativity, arts education, and how to embrace/welcome spirituality into schools and workplaces.
