About author

I'm an educator with wide experience. I've taught public school (all grades from four to twelve) and was vice principal and principal of various public schools. I was principal of a private school. I was a volunteer international development worker with the World University Service of Canada, and I've taught at universities in three countries.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English & Philosophy, a Bachelor of Education, a Master of Arts (Ed.) in Curriculum Development, and a Doctor of Education in Reading Education.

I developed and taught English and study skills courses at an international university in Japan, where I was a tenured professor. I’ve written five study skills books.

My poetry has been published widely in literary magazines and anthologies and I have published five books of poetry, as well as a novel.

Learning has been my life! And I’m excited at the prospect of working with learners everywhere!
