  I have been teaching in the Faculty of Education at UBC since 1995. My courses include elementary science education, education research methods, inquiry, and environmental education. I work with teacher candidates and practising teachers and am also Director of the UBC Landed Learning Project. My love for the Southern Resident Killer Whales began as a young girl exploring local beaches and tidepools of the Salish Sea. The Southern Residents have become my lifelong mentors and guides. As we witness their extinction, I have become their protector and ally.

  Before joining UBC I was a classroom teacher and also worked as a marine educator and park naturalist. My work focuses on elementary science, environmental education, and teacher education. I am a naturalist, scientist, and educator of, for, and in the environment and am a passionate advocate for learning experiences that nurture our sense of wonder for the human and more than human world. The storied lives of our Southern Resident Orca community guide all that I do in my teaching, research, and life!
