Teaching

To me, the best thing about working in science is getting to share what I've learned with others. I firmly believe that the scientist's role as an educator is much more important than whatever academic arcana they might be working on, especially in curiosity-based fields like astronomy. I have had the fortune of mentoring many bright and hard-working undergradute physics students as a teaching assistant, both at my alma mater Memorial University of Newfoundland and at Caltech.
