I am currently working for an online public school in beautiful Victoria, BC.

I loved the technical nature of the work and had the pleasure of working on a variety of projects from sewage recycling to bird and agricultural research. I am interested in exploring how I can combine my passion for technical projects with education in the future. Although my entrepreneurial experience is very limited I am very much looking forward to exploring opportunities throughout this course. I saved this course until the end, like dessert, as I think it will be something to savour.<\/p>\n<p>In my spare time I enjoy all things outdoors \u2013 skiing, running, kayaking, gardening, tennis and sitting at the beach reading a good book (or having a nap!).<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to working with you and getting to know you better this semester.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes,<\/p>\n<p>Laura<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/etec522m.sites.olt.ubc.ca\/files\/2014\/05\/kayakbeach2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9955 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/etec522m.sites.olt.ubc.ca\/files\/2014\/05\/kayakbeach2-360x240.jpg\" alt=\"kayakbeach2\" width=\"356\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/etec522m.sites.olt.ubc.ca\/files\/2014\/05\/tentclarke1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9958\" src=\"http:\/\/etec522m.sites.olt.ubc.ca\/files\/2014\/05\/tentclarke1-360x240.jpg\" alt=\"tentclarke\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>These photos are from one of my favourite places &#8211; Clarke Island in the Broken Group &#8211; a great place to have a nap on the beach.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
