Peter's natural intention has always been to empower people.

He taught youth and adults in Hong Kong and Fredericton for several years, then managed teams supporting First Nations literacy learning and student well-being throughout Canada. He has also worked in designing curriculum and e-learning to help people impacted by disabilities.

Removing barriers so that others can be their best selves fuels Peter's work. He enjoys sharing his skills in human centered design, facilitation, project management, process management, and performance metrics.
