ExperienceEducation and Lifelong LearningFrom 2007 to 2010, I was employed as Senior Writer at the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL), in the Monitoring and Reporting Directorate, where I collaborated with senior research analysts to develop evidence-based reports such as the an-nual State of Learning in Canada. I also co-authored two reports on Aboriginal learning, including Redefining How Suc-cess is Measured in First Nations, Inuit and Métis Learning, contributed policy papers to external magazines, and developed market-ing communications to promote CCL as the national voice on lifelong learning.

For the Laboratory School of the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto, I edited and developed Natural Curiosity: Building Chil-dren’s Understanding of the World Through Environmental Inquiry. This detailed teacher resource explains the theory and pedagogy of “Environmental Inquiry” and chronicles the experiences and insights of Toronto public school teachers who piloted this innovative program in the 2009/2010 school year.

What I Do

Urban and Community Development Through the consulting firm Chreod Ltd., I have written and edited numerous reports, papers and promotional materials focus-ing on urban and community development issues, largely in developing countries, but also in Canadian cities and Aboriginal com-munities.

For example, I researched and wrote “Healthy Cities,” a paper profiling exemplary urban health policy and program initiatives in the UK, Canada, and US, for International CaseStudiesonExemplaryGlobalPrac-tices, a project in 2010 for the Chongqing Municipal Government (China) and the Asian Development Bank.

I have substantively edited numerous research reports and background papers drafted by technical specialists in inter-national development. Examples include: Issues for OECD’s Territorial Review of GuangdongProvince; Emerging Trends in China for Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade; and multiple reports for the World Bank and the Cities Alliance.

Arts and CultureFrom 2002 to 2007, I was a contributing editor of the National Gallery of Canada quarterly magazine, Vernissage. Recog-nized for the depth and clarity of my writing about art and the creative process, I also developed marketing communications to promote the Gallery as a national and global centre of excellence.

For Library and Archives Canada, I edited and managed a large volume of articles, essays, and the content of educational resources destined for 19 Web Exhibitions on various themes in Canada’s documentary

cultural heritage including the exhibitions Moving Here, Staying Here: The Canadian Immigrant Experience; and Aboriginal Docu-mentary Heritage: Historical Collections of the Canadian Government.
