Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

I received my MIST from the University of Toronto in 1996, and my MBA from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2010.
Prior to joining Laurier, I was a librarian at Calvin College in Michigan and before that a community developer worker (and volunteer librarian) in Tanzania.
