Tell us a bit about where you work and what you do.
I work at Royal Roads University (RRU) as a Senior Learning Technologist in the Centre for Teaching and Educational Technologies (CTET). I collaborate with a team of instructional designers and subject matter experts to develop courses, lead learning technology projects such as the selection and implementation of a new video platform, co-develop and co-facilitate workshops, and provide level-2 support to instructors for live courses. I enjoy coming up with optimizations to business processes and interesting technology solutions and improvements.
