ABOUT ME

Lynn is from Vancouver, British Columbia. She completed her bachelor’s degree in business at the University of Victoria in 2013 and worked a number of years in non-profit organizations, higher education, and K-12 education. Lynn has obtained her TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate in 2015. She taught ESL for 3 years in South Korea and Japan at the middle school level ( Grade 6 to 8). In her classes, she incorporated technology and a multimodal approach to teaching where students can make meaning to their learning authentically. She found that technology supported her English curriculum by building a collaborative learning environment and nurturing students' digital literacies by incorporating social media, blogs, and game-based learning in her classroom. She found that creative projects using digital mediums can offer a more fulfilling learning environment that can involve all learners regardless of their level of language ability.

Lynn has experience in instructional design and curriculum development in post secondary education. She was recently hired as an Instructional Designer at a public safety institution in Vancouver and has started her new position beginning of August. Lastly, she is excited to complete her Master of Education in Curriculum and Pedagogy program focusing in digital technology at the University of Toronto this summer.
