I am an engaged learning sciences scholar and the Education Researcher & Analyst at CPA Western School of Business. I hold a Ph.D. in Learning Sciences from the University of Calgary, focused on Decolonization & Complexity Education. I also have an M.A. in Industrial Design from Hanyang University in South Korea, a BSc in Design from UNIS University, and a Home Economics Teaching Degree from Guatemala. My work involves conducting action research to enhance educational practices and address challenges. My research involved designing complexity education activities integrating Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives using design-based research methodologies and involving practitioners' visions. My work focuses on design-based research as a powerful tool for integrating practitioners' knowledge and perspectives. I apply experiential learning and prescriptive design approaches to create and develop learning activities in formal and informal education settings. My expertise lies in Indigenous perspectives, experiential and work-integrated learning, fieldwork, and evaluation research. My ultimate goal is to advance the learning sciences to encompass all learners' perspectives, a testament to my commitment to inclusivity and diversity in education.
