I am an Associate Professor of Geography at the University of British Columbia Okanagan. My academic background spans GIS and human geography, and my research sits at the intersection of digital, data, visual, and urban geographies. I am co-Editor-in-Chief of Digital Geography and Society.
I teach across the geography program — courses on digital and visual geography, cartography, and human and urban geography.
