• In 1985 I wrote a comprehensive training and resource manual for youth employment counsellors. This document is still in use in many youth employment counselling centres throughout Ontario.

• From 1987 to 1990 I helped design the first distance-learning-based training program for community development workers in Native communities. From 1990 to 1992 I helped establish the first Early Childhood Education distance training program for community development workers in Native communities. From 1990 to 1992 I helped establish the first Early Childhood Education distance training program for Native people in Canada.

• In 1995, I was commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services to write a manual on the design and evaluation of young offender programs. Effective Young Offender Program Design, is the standard training reference for the field in Ontario and many of its recommended practices have been incorporated into MCSS’s young offender services standards and guidelines.

• In 1998 I led a team to revamp both English and French literacy and numeracy learning outcomes for all Literacy and Basic Skills programs in Ontario for the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

• In 1999, I led a review of the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada program offered by the Toronto District School Board - the largest English instruction program for new immigrants in North America.

• In 2002, I developed the Learning-To-Learn Differently Project (LLDP). LLDP is a volunteer-based tutoring program for academically at-risk Grade One children that also develops the knowledge and skills the parents of these children need to help them succeed in school. It currently runs in four cities in Ontario through local Learning Disability Association of Ontario offices.

• In 2004 I developed employment service benchmarks based on a sample of 1,100 clients from across Ontario. The first study of its kind in Canada, it also provided an empirical assessment of the depth and breadth of employment barriers faced by employment-disadvantaged clients.

• In 2005 I undertook a province-wide needs assessment for employment services among Deaf, deafened and hard-of-hearing consumers. The project also entailed the development of a comprehensive model of expanded and enhanced specialized employment service delivery. A total of 365 consumers participated in providing input – in either survey or focus group form, making this project the most comprehensive consultation on employment service needs and solutions of its kind.

		Welcome to my website!
		For over 20 years I have served as a management consultant exclusively to non-profit organizations, concentrating on program design and proposal writing, program evaluation, and organizational development. My training is in applied psychology with a focus on organizational psychology, community psychology, and program evaluation. As a consultant I have undertaken many projects over the years, the most noteworthy of which, I am proud to say have had wide-reaching impact.
