Hello everyone!
My name is Coral and I’m from Vancouver (well, technically Tsawwassen for anyone from BC, but Vancouver is easier to spell…)
I work with Pearson Learning Solutions, one of the largest providers of educational content and services. I am currently a Managing Editor, responsible for the oversight of customized print and online materials for universities and colleges for Western Canada, but over the next month I will be moving into a new role as the Executive Director for Institutional Partnerships.
When I’m not busy with work (and now school!) I’m chasing around our two sons (2 and 4) and our 2 dogs on one of the many beaches near our home. I also enjoy cooking, reading cookbooks, watching cooking shows and of course eating!
This will be my first MET course and I am very excited to be a part of the program and to learn from all of you over the coming months.

Coral,
Welcome to the MET. I can assure you that you will gain a lot from this experience. I am in my final three courses and the time really goes by fast! I look forward to hearing from you about the changes and struggles with dealing with print and digital books. Have a great term!

Hi Coral,
Though Pearson is my competitor here in Mexico (I write for Macmillan), I must admit it has some great texts and materials; you must be very happy to work in such an important company. I guess we have in common that we are both in publishing, and we both love anything to do with cooking and eating. I look forward to sharing experiences in the publishing world with you, and perhaps the odd recipe, but not in the blog 🙂
Welcome to MET.

Hi Adriana
Thank you! I love Mexican food so I would be happy to share recipes! I’m actually headed to Puerto Vallarta in Oct with my family so I’m looking forward to lots of great Mexican food 🙂

Welcome to MET Coral – I’m sure you’ll enjoy it – I’ve found the discussions with my MET classmates have made the entire journey, and effort, all worthwhile.
