A highly experienced educator and researcher with a Ph.D. in Science from Trent University, specializing in the characterization of nanoparticles in aqueous environments. My academic career spans over 25 years of teaching mathematics, chemistry, and technical writing at university and college levels in Canada and internationally. My postdoctoral research at the University of Alberta focused on advanced oxidation processes for treating oil sands process water, employing LC-MS for molecular analysis of naphthenic acids and their by-products. I have also investigated the use of nano zero-valent iron for environmental remediation. My teaching philosophy emphasizes student-centered learning, individualized support, and the integration of real-world applications into coursework. I am skilled in curriculum development, online education platforms (Blackboard, Brightspace), and mentoring students in research and technical writing.
