Hello everyone ! My name is Matthew Gibala and I am a third year student here at the University of Victoria. Above I have attatched a piture of my loving and always supportive family. I am currently part of the commerce program but have an underlying passion for becoming an educator. The idea of helping others grow and flourish through education is something I strongly believe in. The world of open and distributed learning is a rapidly growing landscape, allowing for more learning opportunities outside of the traditional methods which I want to support and be a part of.
