My Digital Story

In Kindergarten, I remember my teacher rolling a fancy new Apple computer into the classroom.

We weren't allow to touch it. The teacher didn't even turn it on. However, this moment piqued my curiosity in technology that would stay with me through-out my education and into my career.

In grade four I stayed in a recess to play Carmen San Diego.

In High School I studied design and developed a love for Photoshop and Indesign.

In University I studied Fine Art and continued to explore Design Software.

I decided to complete a Master's in Library and Information Science where I started studying technology in relation to Information Management.

This led me to a career in technology in Higher Education.

I currently work as a Project Manager for Postgraduate Medical Education.

During my time as a Project Manager. I have helped develop...

Projects I have helped develop...

• A learning object repository.
• A mobile Case Logging application.
• Various project for our Learner Information System.

In my other professional roles I have....

• Developed a researchers database.
• Digitize an archival photograph collection.
• Develop project specs for a digital archive.
• Work on the Government of Canada's Internal Wiki (I was a wiki gnome).

I've been in Higher Education for almost 5 years. I have seen the impact technology is making, and I know how important it is to have the skills to help navigate the profound change in Higher Ed.

That's why I'm in the MET program. I want to gain the needed skills to help my University navigate this change.
