About Me

I am a science and design teacher at Lower Canada College in Montreal, Quebec. I primarily teach general science, physics, and design at a variety of levels. This year, I have two classes of Grade 9 science, a Grade 11 physics class, and a Grade 11 design arts class. Additionally, I am the faculty supervisor of the school’s Tabletop RPG club and one of the coaches of our Robotics team.

My background

I grew up in southern Ontario (not Toronto!) between the Niagara peninsula and a town called Cobourg that’s basically just a beach with a few retirement homes. I studied Engineering Physics at Carleton University in Ottawa, where I learned electronics, nuclear physics, and that I didn’t really want to be an engineer. After moving to Montreal, I studied science education at McGill and started working at LCC shortly after attaining my Ed degree.

Shortly after coming to LCC, I was given the opportunity to take over middle school design classes from a teacher who was leaving the school, and that was my first exposure to LCC’s Fab Lab. In the years since, I have become more and more familiar with digital fabrication, including the 3D printers, the laser cutter, and the vinyl cutter. I am comfortable using and teaching the use of these tools, but hope to use the Fab Learning Academy to learn ways to teach with them in other contexts!
