Rebecca holds Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees from the University of Manitoba and a Master of Education degree from the University of Saskatchewan. They will be starting doctoral studies in Education this fall with a focus on inclusive assessment practices and its intersection with competency-guided learning. Rebecca's career in post-secondary has centered on experiential learning. This includes leading learner-centred EL program development; collaborating with industry and community partners to enhance and expand programming; embedding career development learning within academic programming; and developing and implementing competencies frameworks to enable the articulation of transferable skills between work, life and educational contexts. Rebecca was a vital partner in the development of the UM competencies framework. For the past three years they have worked collaboratively with Student Affairs on the Experiential Learning initiative and is well poised to take a leadership role in this area. Rebecca is a strategic leader and innovator and is adept at building partnerships and finding connections.
