Bachelor and Master of Science in Forestry, currently doing a PhD in Forest Sciences; GPA 3.5 (85%) for PhD to date and 3.1 for Bachelor degree
Experience
Extensive experience tutoring students as a university teaching assistant (forest biology, environmental assessment) and last year as a writing tutor. I have also taught classes as a sessional lecturer both at the unvirsity and college level (forestry courses). I'd like to be a tutor as I enjoy helping students learn. It would be a good way for me to do part time work to help support my PhD studies. *2010 Prepared a report for Environment Canada on COP-10 issues & gap analysis of the Convention on Biological Diversity strategic plan *Research paper presented Emerging partnerships between municipalities and First Nation communities: New institutional arrangements under community-based forest management in northern Ontario.
