Lethbridge, Alberta that is…
I am so excited to be here! This is my third course, although I took my first through AU, and I am thrilled to be trying something new. I was a Jr./Sr. High School science teacher up until the birth of my second son three years ago. When it came time to go back to work, I needed something different and closer to home (I was commuting over an hour each way). I applied for an Instructional Design job at Lethbridge College, got it and have not looked back once. It has been an amazing opportunity to be creative, learn more and be more available to my children. I don’t get summers off anymore, but we manage. I am a single parent now so don’t have a ton of time for leisure, but really enjoy running, skiing and hiking when I do. I also camp quite a bit with my children. Below is a picture of my boys’ first ever ski day this Winter (I am in the green headband, my sister in the purple pom pom).
Hi!
Nice pic! I can relate to the commuting. When I lived in Vancouver, I commuted over an hour each way but now that I’m living in Halifax, I can walk to work in 30mins. What a difference that has made in my homelife!!
Looking forward to your perspectives from an ID point of view.

I can also relate to how much time and energy you save when you don’t have to commute an hour. Instructional design is something I will considered once I’m done with the MET program. If you don’t mind me asking, did you have any other relate experience/education prior to getting the job?
