teaching

I have been principal instructor and teaching assistant at the University of Alberta and Simon Fraser University, in addition to holding gesture workshops and short courses (like STEP), and lecturing for units in other courses at UAlberta, SFU, and UBC. In a past life I was also an English teacher at a highschool and community college in Weimar, Germany.
