After 3.5 great years at UVic, this Friday will be my last day as Program Coordinator of International Education. I’ve had so many wonderful experiences with our partners around the world creating and delivering learning experiences for international educators. I know this wonderful work will continue through the ELC at UVic. And, you’ll see me from time to time as a TEFL instructor. I’m very grateful for all that I’ve learned and will take with me to my next working adventure!
