Shawn Untinen

His original professional goal back in high school was to be a teacher. The life journey that is education introduced me instead to the rewarding and challenging field of social work and working as a helping professional. After several decades of rewarding work in the field of social work which included facilitating numerous workshops and seminars, He was invited to be a sessional instructor in the fall of 2009 at Confederation, which reignited my passion for teaching. In September 2009, His two passions were brought together into a rewarding new career teaching in the Social Service Worker program at Confederation College.

He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology Major) from Lakehead University in 1988. He then completed my Honours Bachelor of Social Work in 1991 and finally my Master of Social Work degree in 1998.

He worked in the field of social work and social services for 24 years prior to joining the faculty at Confederation College.
