Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT)

Marketing Manager

University of Calgary

I teach a Digital Marketing course and a Social Media Foundations course in the Continuing Education department.

Instructor

Mount Royal University

I taught courses in Digital Marketing, Socia Media and Strategic Communication courses at Mount Royal University.

Here are some of my recent student evaluations:
- Great course all in all and fantastic instructor.
- WONDERFUL teacher. Nancy is a very engaging teacher and relates all course material to real world examples. I would highly recommend Nancy as a teacher to all my friends and would be interested in taking more of her classes just because she is the teacher. great class!
- Nancy Smith is a fantastic Instructor as she is prepared for every class and relays relevant information in relation to course content. This is a beginner social media class and she follow's the students' lead on how much they know. If she thinks everyone is ready to take the content a step further, she does so. Great visuals and great tips!
- Nancy is one of the best instructors I've had in a long, long time. Her real world examples were wide ranging, not just focused on Travel Alberta. She remembered what each person was trying to accomplish or where we worked, and throughout the classes she was able to apply some learning to one of our workplaces or objectives, making the learning that much more real. 
She's also a strong advocate of MRU and the certificate programs. Her feedback helped me determine my next steps.
Truly amazing, and I have already recommended the class and her, to others.

I have over 10 years’ experience in providing workshops and sessions at large-scale conferences dealing with issues and strategies related to social media. I enjoy public speaking and the opportunity to engage with an audience on topics including social media, digital parenting and productivity.
