About

I’m a laboratory-trained physical sciences professional and STEM educator with over eight years of experience across secondary education, university outreach, and public science engagement in Canada, the UK, and the United States. I hold dual Bachelor’s degrees in Astrophysics and Secondary Education, and I excel at translating complex scientific concepts into accessible, engaging learning experiences. I have a strong background in experimental physics, curriculum development, student mentorship, robotics education, and makerspace facilitation, and I enjoy creating inquiry-driven, hands-on learning environments for diverse learners.
