My media appearances

My professional experience and profile have gifted me with the opportunity to share my knowledge and insights with a variety of online and traditional news outlets across Canada and internationally. Below is a list of selected appearances within the last ten years.
If you're a journalist, blogger, or podcaster seeking a subject matter expert on higher education enrolment (enrollment) management, marketing, or admissions, contact me. I speak only as an industry expert, my remarks are not on behalf of my employer or industry association.
