As an Educational Developer, my primary responsibility is to assist in planning and developing pedagogical strategies while supporting faculty with the tools necessary to enhance teaching and learning. I also facilitate professional development sessions for new instructors and graduate students dedicated to building their pedagogical competencies, aiming to create meaningful learning experiences for our students.
I am particularly interested in utilizing technology in the classroom and leveraging social media applications to foster community and increase student engagement in their learning process, all while promoting a sense of belonging. Supportive and effective learning environments are essential for student success. I strive to work with educators interested in creating inclusive and dynamic spaces that support diverse learning styles and encourage collaboration.
I have enjoyed teaching at the University of Lethbridge for many years and have had the opportunity to supervise graduate students from abroad during their second language teaching practicums. My educational background includes a Master of Education from the University of Barcelona and a Bachelor of Health Sciences from the University of Lethbridge.
I look forward to working with you.
