About Us

My background is in mechanical engineering, and I started Heywood Academies in 2022 to help students with their math, science, and engineering courses.

I did the mechanical engineering technologist program through Camosun College and the Bachelor of Engineering through the University of Victoria.

I also now teach mechanical engineering at Camosun College.

Outside of tutoring, I like going to the gym, running, and watching anime!

Fun Fact: I spent a year travelling around Australia working as an online tutor

I’ve recently graduated the mechanical engineering program at the University of Victoria.

After school, I know that I would like to travel. I’m studying German to add my repertoire of languages!

I also love to spend time in the kitchen prepping lots of delicious things.

A fun fact about me is that I always have a fun ferment (funment?) going on: this time around it’s pineapple hot sauce!

I completed my bachelor’s degree in biology with a concentration in marine biology at the University of Victoria.

During my degree, I spent significant time taking hands-on field courses at Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, where I gained practical skills in marine research and fieldwork.

I also work as a teaching assistant, conducting biology laboratories at the University of Victoria, and as a Naturalist aboard whale-watching vessels.

Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, scuba diving, crocheting, and hiking.

Fun fact: I’ve backpacked through more than 20 countries and spent six months living in Kenya!

I’m currently a second-year engineering student at the University of Victoria.

I began my studies in general science before transferring into engineering.

Outside of school, I enjoy golfing, skiing, and surfing, as well as baking and painting.

Fun fact: I’ve mastered making French macarons.

I am currently in my second year of biomedical engineering at the University of Victoria, where I am developing a strong foundation in STEM subjects including physics, calculus, biology, and chemistry.

Since graduating high school in 2024, I have been driven by a passion for science and for helping other students understand complex topics in ways that suit their individual learning styles.

Outside of academics, I enjoy staying active. In my spare time you can usually find me running, baking banana bread, or enjoying a fresh batch. 

A Fun Fact: I have Scottish heritage and used to compete as a highland dancer.

I have an associate’s degree from Selkirk College in Biology, and recently graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology.

I have focused my course work on genetics and molecular biology, which I love to yap about!

During my degree, I did a lot of volunteer work as the Vice-President of the UVic Biology Undergrad Society, where I ran community and networking events for students.

Outside of work I like to bake cookies, go on hikes, and swim.

Fun fact: I am very good at solving Wordle puzzles!
