I served for several years as Director of the Werklund Youth Leadership Centre, and have lead high-profile collaborations that include: the Harvard Leadership Institute, Stanford’s Gardner Centre for Youth, the Rozsa Foundation, Royal Conservatory of Music, and Alberta Health Services.Ĭurrently, I am focused on research studying the relationship between art, brain, and cognition and am an Associate Member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, and the Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research and Education. I have a passion for Teaching and Learning, with extensive experience teaching in class and on-line, and am regularly invited to lead speak with large, international audiences around the world.Īrt-Making Promotes Mental Health: A Solution for Schools That Time Forgot.Įffects of Teacher Mindset on Developing Growth Mindset in Girls and Boys. My doctoral studies focused on the remote workplace through a behavioural strategic/economic lens. In a distinctive twist, I also employ A/R/Tographic and Art-Based Research methods in my undergraduate courses and enjoy this philosophical flip into phenomenological ways of knowing. To date this includes designing models for increasing engagement through Socially Empowered Learning, fostering innovative teaching through Artistic Intelligence (AQ), and promoting mental health in schools through Brain Smoothies (art-based exercises that provide a mental break, foster focus, and energize the mind). My work is situated at the intersection of Arts, Leadership, and Learning and I tend to gravitate towards inter-and-transdisciplinary projects working to solve complex, societal challenges. My strengths are in generating new conceptual frameworks for understanding phenomena, and testing them through psychometrics and neuroscientific methods (fNIRS, EEG). I am an Arts Education Specialist with a PhD in Business (AACSB).
