Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Algonquin Collage
Since 2010, I have been a Professional Dungeon Master for children and youth, teaching hundreds how to play Dungeons & Dragons. Working in a before-and-after school program allowed me to refine my skills at an exponential pace—challenging my imagination, creativity, and quick thinking. These experiences have shaped me into a dynamic DM and storyteller, always evolving while staying true to my philosophy of teaching life skills through imaginative play.
In addition, I am a Child and Youth Care Practitioner with 25 years of experience supporting children's life skills and cognitive development. My passion lies in using role-playing and storytelling—like D&D—to teach essential skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience in a fun and engaging way.
