Parker is a passionately curious Canadian, always having fun with science in everyday life! Watching Carl Sagan’s Cosmos at the age of 14 led Parker to studying Physics and Math at the University of Toronto and then Science Communication with Laurentian University and Science North. Here, Parker conducted research on identifying engagement behaviours in audiences of live science shows.

Since then, Parker has loved being an educational Curator for three interactive science galleries, Programs Manager (Creative Robotics and Teen Programs) and Performer of live science shows and workshops. When not facilitating (or thinking about) learning, Parker is with friends either bushwalking, at a museum, practicing Tai Chi, or watching Star Wars cartoons / Avatar The Last Airbender (again).
