Speaking
WordCamps, workshops, and speaking appearances. A record of where this work has shown up in the world.
Three terms of for-credit WordPress instruction at York University in 2017, parallel to Sheridan. A research university context changes the teaching — more theory before the room gets restless, assignments that ask for reflection alongside the technical work.
Three terms of for-credit WordPress instruction at Sheridan College in 2017 — winter, spring, fall. Not a workshop. A real college course with a syllabus, assignments, and grades, for students who needed to understand why the stack works, not just that it does.
The M.L. Campbell teaching engagement began in 2020 and continues as of 2026 — six years across four delivery modes: classroom instruction, practical labs, online modules, and customer-site sessions. The LMS architecture built today is this same curriculum encoded for scale.
Three and a half years as a Training Specialist at the Center for Arts and Technology in Fredericton — Photoshop, Video Production, Marketing, Career Management, and Web Technology on a rotating six-month cycle. The current training practice grew out of those years more than any other single source.
A return engagement at the Privy Council Office in spring 2002 — six months after the first session. Return bookings from senior government are a signal about the first session, not just about scheduling.
PowerPoint and presentation-skills training at the Privy Council Office in Ottawa in fall 2001 — the senior public-service department that supports the Prime Minister and Cabinet. Two three-hour sessions across two days.
Two days at Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener — teaching Microsoft Office to a class inside the federal corrections system. The work mattered more than most one-day training engagements do.
Excel 2010 Level 1 at Tucows — the Toronto-based internet-services and domain-registrar company — in April 2018. Tech companies don’t usually need Excel Level 1; when they do, the room’s technical fluency changes how the pacing works.
One-day Microsoft Office training at TPIreg in January 2020. Small team, focused scope — the kind of engagement where the room’s specific workflow shapes the session more than any standard curriculum outline.
