My role as an educator in the Educationa
l Leadership Stream at UBC\, is one of being a facilitator for students lea
rning. I view my role as an academic and an educator to encourage students
and to equip them with the tools they need for their success both academica
lly and more broadly. My interdisciplinary background provides me with the
capability to explore and deliver alternative and engaging approaches to kn
owledge acquisition in my role as a geography educator.
I work to dev elop alternative modes of delivery of Geography content\, involving develop ing online tools\, activities and experiential learning techniques. My area s of educational research include location-aware technologies\, augmented r eality\, and alternative methods of knowledge mobilization\, especially wit h application to the internationalization of pedagogy. My geography specifi c research focuses on experiential learning in the discipline\, and to the use of interactive place-based digital storytelling as a means to generate empathy and engagement in social justice. As a teacher and researcher invol ved in geographical education I am responsive and resourceful in order to r espond creatively to the changing nature of global processes and of interna tional education.
