      Advisor, Quality Assurance Academic Projects

      I work in academic quality assurance, including annual reporting on 75 programs and comprehensive evaluations for 12, while adapting programs to meet provincial updates and standards. My role involves liaising with deans, coordinators, and provincial authorities to ensure compliance with OCQAS/PEQAB standards, credential frameworks, and titling protocols. I facilitate internal and external audits, coordinate program changes, maintained a repository of reviews, and leading the preparation and execution of the CQAAP process. I developed processes for program design, development, and review, managed QA initiatives, and collaborated with academic leaders to implement and renew programs. Additionally, I provide project management leadership, prepared reports for the Board of Governors, supporting institutional audits, and strengthened collaboration between academic leadership and service departments to optimize program quality and regulatory adherence.
