MA in Education Policies for Global Development / MA in Social Policy (Dual Degree)

As an undergrad and teacher, Chris developed a deep passion for education, teaching, and learning. His experience as a K-12 teacher abroad and in Alberta revealed the multi-layered and complex factors influencing education systems and student learning. He became interested in how public policy, technology, and education systems interact to help or hinder school communities in pursuing engaging and equitable learning for all students. As such, he once again needed to become a student and is pursuing a dual Masters of Education Policies for Global Development and Social Policy as part of the Erasmus GLOBED program, where he will study at three universities: the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the University of Bremen, and the University of Cyprus.
Before this, Chris worked as a teacher in Jordan and on three school boards in Alberta. He also worked in the nonprofit and international development sectors with the Breakfast Club of Canada and the Aga Khan University in Nairobi. He has volunteered with several global organizations like the World Economic Forum and the United Nations Sustainable Solutions Network. He was an active community member as an undergraduate at the University of Calgary, where he received his Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Arts in History.
