Social Media:

In the final year of my undergraduate in Media Studies, I was fortunate to create an independent course of study focusing on social network theory and the emerging trend of online social networks – under direction of Dr. J. Burkell.

6 months later, Facebook.com opened its doors to anyone 13 or older with a valid email address and began its spread to what is now more than a third of the Canadian population, and several hundred million users worldwide.

Starting with my independent research with Dr. Burkell, and then continuing as the founding social media consultant at Academica Group Inc, I have followed online communications and marketing for the last 5 years – building on a previous decade of web design experience.

Web:

Since 1997, I have worked both hands on and at a strategic level with small businesses, non-profits, government, higher education, and commercial websites.  Currently, I am a member of the new web team at the Richard Ivey School of Business. I also maintain sites for local businesses, outside of higher education.

I have spoken to local, national and international audiences on the topic of web best practice, information architecture and other related subjects.
