I have been employed by the Durham District School Board since 1999. During the last 3 years I have been heading the department of science of a high school located in the city of Oshawa, called G.L. Roberts C.V.I.. I currently teach academic & applied science, senior biology, and data management. I also direct an after school biotechnology-related extracurricular club called The BioTrek Society. My personal career objective is to develop, maintain, and promote positive attitudes towards science, and life by fostering effective working and learning environments, and contributing to the development of others. My educational dogma is one that incorporates effective and innovative practical teaching methodologies that would complement scientific theory, and provide enriched learning opportunities through the process of guided inquiry, and authentic education. Personal research interests include curriculum development and program implementation strategies in high school biotechnology, statistics, scientific literacy, and space science.
During the 1994-1998 time period I had the opportunity to conduct clinical research with the department of laboratory medicine & pathobiology of the University of Toronto, and the Advanced Center for Detection of Cancer (ACDC), both of which were/are affiliated with The Toronto Hospital, and The Mount Sinai Hospital. In 1999 I was employed by the department of integrative biology research of The Hospital for Sick Children. My research contribution is primarily focused in the fields of prostate and breast cancer monitoring, diagnosis and early detection. In addition, clinical studies were also performed with various protein markers in prenatal screening, renal function, and neuropathology.
