About
Sarah Elliott
After earning an Hon.B.Sc in Biology from the University of Toronto, I discovered a love of teaching while volunteering in the Hands-on Biodiversity Gallery at the Royal Ontario Museum. After returning to school to earn my B.Ed from York University and teaching Science in England for a year, I came home to the museum and spent twenty years there as an educator before settling into my current role as Digital Content Producer. Now, I lead the museum’s Minecraft program, and my work there has led me to become a Minecraft Global Mentor, designing lesson plans and delivering instruction to teachers and students around the world!
