 <\/p>\n

Born and raised in a suburb of Los Angeles, I began my undergraduate studies at Fullerton College before transferring to Cal State Fullerton, where I earned a BS in Biology. I then went to UC Irvine, where I completed a PhD in Biological Sciences, and importantly, was introduced to the theory and practice of pedagogy and course design in the Pedagogical Fellows program.<\/p>\n

After graduating, I knew that I wanted to teach at a community college, so I worked as an adjunct instructor at several local community colleges for a couple years before getting hired full-time at Citrus College. As I engaged with students there and gained insight into their unique situations, backgrounds, and needs, I developed an understanding of the value of diversity and the importance of inclusion in teaching and learning. With the goal of making my courses more equitable and inclusive for all<\/em> students, I made many iterative changes to my course design and teaching practices… and I personally experienced how challenging this process can be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Knowing how difficult it is to change to one’s teaching, I decided to take on a new position at UBC as a Science Education Specialist so that I could support others through this arduous process. In this role, I work with faculty and teaching teams to make courses more equitable and student-centred, and I am also involved in several initiatives and projects that aim to improve undergraduate teaching and learning in Biology and the larger Science program. Additionally, I recently had the privilege to develop and teach the new BIOL 348 – Biology of Cannabis course<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring new places around Vancouver with my partner Kim, and I’m always down for good food, great coffee, and interesting conversation. My goal is to enjoy every moment I have during this beautiful thing called life, and to contribute to making some positive change while I’m here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
