Kathy Becker

Kathy is a proud Waterloo Arts grad (English Literature) who went on to earn a master’s in educational technology through the University of British Columbia. After several years in the private education sector, she returned to Waterloo in 2011. Kathy was the inaugural Teaching Development Associate for the Faculty of Engineering and has also played an active role with the University of Waterloo Staff Association, including serving as UWSA President (2020-2021). Kathy is committed to helping instructors find joy in their teaching, and she views assessment as a key tool in this process.

Powered by strong connections, an unconventional analytical style, and a wealth of procedural know-how, Kathy helps the Teaching Assessment Processes team make forward progress. When she’s not busy with that, you’ll find her caring for her bees, working on a construction project with her partner, or learning something new.
