About Me:

I have worked as an adjunct professor at the Social, Cultural, and Media Studies Department of the University College of the Fraser Valley and taught social justice courses at St. Mark’s College. I am community researcher, local activist, and Vancouver Catholic Worker. My social justice work and interests have taken me to Colombia with Witness for peace and in the 1990s to Kenya and Mexico. In March 2006 and August 2007, i participated in Christian Peacemaker Teams delegations to Kenora and Grassy Narrows (Ontario) to learn more about Aboriginal human rights issues. At the end of July 2012, I will be ordained as a priest in the Roman Catholic WomenPriests (RCWP) movement.
