About Me

Dark Color - Transparent PNG

Youth Engagement

Working collaboratively, I support youth to use all their skills, experiences, passions, and relationships to positively impact their communities. Youth engagement is about developing critical thinking that leads to intentional actions that change individuals and society.

Community Building

I work to build and maintain intergenerational environments where youth and adults partner to strategically achieve their shared goals. Youth-adult partnerships are crucial to the health and well-being of our communities.

Education Reform

I work to identify opportunities to enhance schools through collaboration with students, staff, administration, and families to create the kind of schools where everyone thrives. A school is an important hub within a community when nurtured by the people it serves.

Skills and Experiences

For nearly two decades I’ve listened closely to the everyday stories of youth and communities I’ve participated with. I’ve learned to recognize the challenges of our social structures that often go unseen, and the incredible opportunities that exist if we work together to question the way things are and risk an act of resistance.

I flourish in undefined, uncertain situations, taking healthy risks in pursuit of creativity, collaboration, social change, and fun. I have worked in not-for-profit and government positions, in schools and communities across Canada, and I have studied youth engagement, social equity, and educational reform at the Master’s and now at the PhD level. I’m excited to collaborate with you!

Rob consistently uses a partnership approach that equitably involves community members, organization representatives, students, and staff in all aspects of the process of building a healthy school community. This way all partners contribute expertise and share decision-making and ownership. Rob always brings a great deal of useful insight and experience, as well as energy and enthusiasm to the work.
