My current position here at Kemptville Campus is managing program review and renewal. Although I have worked at the campus for almost 10 years, I have only been in this new position one year. It involves working with industry, advisory committees and instructors to ensure our diploma and certificate programs are authentic, relevant and meet industry needs. I work with program coordinators and instructors to develop curriculum that is sequential and well aligned. Before this, I managed the instructional design and delivery of a distance learning program in food service and nutrition management. My volunteer role with Leave for Change 2012 is to be with Hai Phong Community College (HPCC) in northern Vietnam. The project is to assist college staff in needs assessment development as well as strategies for responding to industry skills needs. As I have a genuine interest in learning styles in other cultures and developing competency-based curriculum I view this whole experience as both personal and professional development. I am as excited about what I might be able to share as what I will learn in return. I am also excited about the food!
