Kim Mellor has over 27 years of experience in education, including 13 years in leadership development in the federal public service.
Prior to joining the faculty, Kim was a learning specialist at the Canada School of Public Service. She led the development of a wide variety of national leadership courses and programs for supervisors, managers and executives.

A people person with a special interest in human development, Kim became an accredited Erickson professional coach in 2018. She puts her coaching skills to good use by creating learning environments conducive to reflection, exploring new opportunities, and action.
