I am available to provide virtual presentations to your school over the lunch hour or in your CLE/CLC classes.  If you would like to book a virtual presentation, please let me know and we will find a date that works.

Thanks again for all that you do to help students achieve their post-secondary goals! As always, please feel free to keep in touch with any questions you or your students might have.

Cheers,
