Hi, I'm Katrina.
For over 25 years, I’ve helped adults reach their learning goals—supporting newcomers to Canada in building language and literacy skills for work and community participation, and helping teachers develop their skills and effectiveness.
​
My background includes:
-
ESL and literacy instruction at all levels, including foundational adult learning
-
Curriculum and materials design, including research-informed frameworks
-
Teacher/tutor training and professional development
-
Program leadership and administration
​​
I believe learning is transformative—not just for individuals, but for families, communities, and the organizations that support them. As a consultant, I help organizations design programs and resources that are practical, inclusive, and results-driven.
My Approach
I believe the best results come from collaboration. I partner with clients to understand their goals and challenges, then design tailored solutions that combine proven methods with creative, real-world applications. Every project is grounded in evidence, experience, and a commitment to measurable outcomes.
My Vision
A world where every adult has access to the learning opportunities they need to thrive—at home, at work, and in their community. By building capacity in organizations and workplaces, I aim to create ripple effects of growth, opportunity, and success.
