As coordinator of leadership development, I am responsible for the design, planning and logistics for all leadership development workshops, training and conferences offered through the Office of Student Life at the University of Toronto. I regularly facilitate workshops in communication skills, group coordination, conflict resolution and meeting facilitation and I am a trained facilitator of a popular theatre technique called Forum Theatre.
I have both an engineering degree and a Master’s in Education from Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, My graduate research was in the area of leadership development and social responsibility of students involved in campus organizations. I’m currently looking at ways of continuing and expanding my research and knowledge of leadership for social change.
