Meara Kimball

Meara Kimball

Meara is one of VIU's Learning Technologies Support Specialists. She began her academic career at VIU where she discovered that she greatly enjoyed her computer science courses, and this inspired her transfer to UVIC to pursue a BSc (major in Comp Sci and Math). It soon became clear that she was too much of a people-person for a strictly tech career. This led her back to VIU, where she is excited to bridge the gap between educators, learners, and learning technologies!
