Hello,

I am a manager at a non-profit science centre. I manage a team of educators that develop and deliver STEM programming to students all across my province, with a focus on science/coding/technology. I am passionate about teaching, and I aim to find ways to integrate all of the scientific disciplines into fun and engaging activities for students from K-12. I think it's important to engage with different communities to share things that work and find ways to help everyone make this stuff meaningful to the students.

I am a pure experimentalist, and I love working with my hands, et cetera, and I do math only when I have to. Sometimes I work with biologists. I do nothing exciting in research, and after my defence, I hardly can call myself a scientist because we have a lack of financial support, and most of my time I spend on teaching...
