Some fun facts about Robin…

I love teaching and sharing my experiences with students and colleagues, as well as, travelling and learning about cultures! I have a travel bucket list and working with students at NorQuest from around the globe keeps this bucket list growing. I also am involved in the arts community in Edmonton. I’m not an artist but I work with a local non-profit organization, Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts (I’m not Ukrainian). I write grants, manage their retail operations/schedule staff, coordinate their educational art programs, and manage special projects and programs.

I’m also enrolled in the MET program at UBC. I started taking courses in January 2020. I’m nervous and excited to back in school; but so far I’ve had really great experiences in this program and would highly recommend it to anyone teaching in technology!
