Teaching

I have taught field courses, guest lectures, and organized laboratories and have supervised several undergraduate research projects/theses.  I like to focus on interactive or experiential techniques of teaching whenever possible.  

Outreach

I have conducted school visits in over 20 classrooms, working with programs such as Let's Talk Science (University of Alberta), Scientists and Innovators in Schools (Vancouver), Innovators in the Schools (Yukon).  I acted as the outreach coordinator for the International Polar Year Canadian Youth Steering Committee and the ArcticNet Students Association. I was a workshop facilitator for the 2012 Polar Educators Workshop.
