I currently work as a Digital Skills Educator at Ampere (formerly Pinnguaq) teaching community-centred digital skills programs in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. I also teach coding, electronics, & robotics at InterAccess. I previously worked as a New Media Specialist at Toronto Metropolitan University and a Makerspace Technician at the Royal Ontario Museum.
