I am an Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver Campus). My current research interests include gamified learning and educational game development for medical & anatomy education, development of Open Educational Resources for students, the intersection of art & anatomy (especially bringing drawing into the classroom), and drivers of student motivation & engagement.

As faculty in the Educational Leadership stream at UBC, you are most likely to find me enthusiastically chattering away about all things anatomy in a lecture hall or dissection lab.

Who needs caffeine when there is an 8:30 AM lecture on cranial nerves to kickstart the day?! 

Since the beginning of my doctoral training, I have been actively curating and developing online resources for a variety of topics — including histology & neuroanatomy — on this website!

In my “spare time” (whatever that means?!), you can usually find me making anatomy doodles on my iPad, solving cryptic crosswords, cycling, taking excessively long walks with my dog (London), or singing at the top of my lungs. I also pride myself in sharing my love of the anatomical sciences with folks of all ages and backgrounds — at the moment, you can find me serving publishing print-on-demand neuroanatomy and neurology games with awesome collaborators (like Dr. Zach London of Neurd Games), serving as co-Editor-in-Chief for the Global Neuroanatomy Network, and working on miscellaneous outreach projects whenever opportunities arise.

I am always on the lookout for new challenges and opportunities… please don’t hesitate to reach out!
