Education

I am Vice Provost and Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. My portfolio comprises responsibility for teaching, learning and technology support to faculty and departments creating credit and non-credit learning opportunities in areas of undergraduate, graduate and lifelong learning. I also contribute to new program approval and quality assurance processes overseen by the office of the Provost and Vice-President Academic. I co-teach a first year Physics course each year, and have way too much fun doing so. Between 2012-2018, I was the Academic Director of the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology at UBC.
