2024/2025 UBC Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant Award

Congratulations to Vanessa Johnson, BDSc 2020; (PhD Year 3), recipient of a 2024/2025 UBC Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant Award!

This recognition is presented each year to a small number of graduate students who have made outstanding contributions to teaching and learning at UBC. The award carries with it a $1,000 prize and a formal certificate.

Vanessa is currently completing her PhD under the supervision of Dr. Leeann Donnelly. She is passionate about advocating for underserved populations and is committed to helping students. Vanessa has gained valuable teaching experience by developing a teledentistry curriculum for the UBC Dentistry DMD and dental hygiene programs, delivering lectures on teledentistry and overseeing the experiential teledentistry rotations. She is a community instructor for dental hygiene students with a unique perspective on mentoring students and encouraging them to be holistically considerate of patient needs.
