Dr. Liza Choi, RN, BN, MN, MBA, EdD, is an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing and Midwifery (Faculty of Health, Community and Education) at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A Registered Nurse and higher education leader with 20+ years of experience, Liza’s work focuses on organizational burnout and morale in academic workplaces, especially during periods of continuous change, resource constraints, and role strain.

Her facilitation style is warm, psychologically safe, and practical—helping faculty, staff, and leaders name complex realities without getting stuck there, and translating them into doable strategies for protecting capacity, strengthening boundaries, and restoring meaning and joy at work. Liza is the founder, researcher, and operational lead of the EAL (International) Student Support Program, a 2025 Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) Emerging Knowledge Award recipient, and serves on the Executive Board of the Mount Royal Faculty Association (MRFA).
