I am a Professor, Teaching Stream in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. I received my MMath (with Certificate in University Teaching) from the University of Waterloo and my BSc from the University of Prince Edward Island.
I regularly teach introductory programming courses and have co-developed two Coursera MOOCs (LTP1 and LTP2) on learning to program in Python. I am also engaged in Computer Science education projects and co-authored an introductory textbook on Python programming.
