Cultivate Curiosity

I teach graduate and undergraduate courses related to Canada and the environment.

My teaching philosophy is simple: cultivate curiosity. In my classes, students conduct hands-on research with primary sources to solve real-world problems.

My experience working in the natural resource industry means I have unique skills and insights to share with students interested in careers outside the academy.
