What I'm looking for

I am seeking a secondary-level teaching role where I can develop STEM curriculum, mentor students, contribute to school community, and grow professionally.

I am a certified secondary Physics teacher with a strong background in mathematical physics and secondary education, holding a B.Ed. and an Honours B.Sc. in Mathematical Physics.

I have taught Physics at Heritage Woods Secondary since 2016 and previously taught at Inquiry Hub Secondary, designing course workbooks for Physics 11 and 12 aligned to the BC curriculum.

My related experience includes long-term roles as Head Teaching Assistant in SFU's Department of Physics, numerous tutoring engagements (500+ hours combined), technical fluency with MATLAB, Maple, LaTeX, Photoshop and Microsoft Office, and comfort on Windows, Linux and Apple platforms.

I bring leadership from coaching and sport (team captain, assistant coach, provincial and national wrestling official), multilingual communication (English, French, Farsi), and a commitment to community and professional development through workshops in classroom management, community building and literacy.
