About

Hello! I am really passionate about Science Communication. I have been teaching at several different universities for over 12 years and have been awarded for my teaching style and communication abilities. I like to approach concepts in a real- world practical way, that is relatable to my students and ensures they will retain what I teach. I have a Honours bachelor's of science in cell, developmental, and molecular biology with a second major in psychology. I have minors in business and nutrition. I am currently earning my masters in biochemistry. I look forward to connecting with you and aiding you on your academic journey. Remember learning is most effective when driven by genuine curiosity!

Teaching methodology

My goal for students is to create and learning environment that is conducive to questions. Often teachers request questions at the end, however in my own learning I found that leaving questions often resulted in forgetting the question, or losing my train of thought in connecting the topic at hand to the existing schema that I am trying to fit the information into. That is why when I teach, I encourage interruptions and questions as they arise as I find that way students are better able to follow my logic of presenting and I can better understand by which train of thought the class is learning the material. My curiosity driven approach to teaching has been shown to be effective in all ages. First introduced by Jerome Bruner as the discovery approach to teaching which followed the work of Jean Piaget (Takaya, 2008). Bruner’s approach follows the mantra “learning by doing” where learning is best when students discover the information for themselves, making the information more viable for problem solving (Takaya, 2008). This is exemplified in the questioning approach as by generating a question the student is forced to reflect on their own knowledge, pose a question about something they do not know, then discover the answer. Applying this to research on science education discovery learning has been shown to increase student engagement, and allows students to reflect on their learning (Gravelle & Fisher, 2012).
