I received B.Sc. (Honors) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Calgary. My Ph.D. thesis was on the mechanisms of ultrafast photochemical ligand dissociation in metal isocyanide complexes. After a short post-doc at the University of Calgary, I joined the teaching faculty at Mount Royal College, where I taught courses in general chemistry, industrial organic chemistry, and air pollution monitoring. I was the first to build a blended-delivery chemistry course at Mount Royal, which was how I became interested in distance learning.
