Biography
I received a B.A. (Honours) in English at the University of New Brunswick, Saint John, an M.A. in English at the University of Toronto, and a Ph.D. in English Language and Literature at the University of Waterloo, with a focus in Canadian Literature. I have taught a wide range of courses at the University of Waterloo, including Science Fiction, Detective Fiction, The Short Story, Introduction to Academic Writing, and Communications in Math, Science, and Engineering. Elsewhere on campus, I have worked at length with graduate students at UW’s Master of Public Service program to help them develop their communication and professionalism skillsets. For years, I have also performed extensive editing work on scholarly publications and academic articles.
