I’m Tiffany, excited about sharing the world of astronomy or math or science with you. I’m the Astronomy Technician for the Astronomy & Physics department, including the Burke-Gaffney Observatory, at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, NS. I love to look at the sky (and will gasp and exclaim “look at the moon!” whenever I notice it) and want to help you do the same.

Here’s some of the other neat positions I’ve held in the past:

  • Virtual Planetarium Show Presenter at Astronomy in Action
  • Physics Lab Instructor at Saint Mary’s University
  • Astronomy Instructor at Washtenaw Community College
  • Educational Assistant at WISEatlantic
  • Planetarium Show Host at the Discovery Centre

I’m into helping others understand things, understanding things, and making things work. I also have three dogs, all with space-adjacent names (Ripley, Kepler, and Nimbus).

Find some blog posts and other information along the top menu, or not, because this website is always a work-in-progress.
