Microbiologist by day, karaoke legend by night. Have been teaching community college courses for adult learners for the past 30 years. Maintain a large organic vegetable garden with my partner and donate excess food to our community food pantry. Nothing I love more than reading, knitting, and agate hunting.

Steel is the educational product manager for Pressbooks, a small Canadian startup which makes open source book publishing software. He taught English for at the university level for a decade, and worked outside the academy as a land surveyor, prison educator, and mentor/tutor for elementary school-aged kids. He earned a Ph.D. in English and a master’s degree in Library and Information Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and now lives in Eugene, Oregon.

Amy graduated from McGill in 2019 with a degree in chemistry. Despite having enjoyed pipetting solutions into tiny vials, she realized that experiencing such opportunities are predicated on the accessibility of resources. Feeling strongly about these ideas, she joined Pressbooks, where she gets to exercise her love of continuous learning while contributing to a meaningful and collaborative environment. On any given day, she spends most of her time watching films, cooking, and enjoying the outdoors.

Morty earned his MA in surfing studes from Gnarly Waves College in 2019. He now makes a living as a food scholar specializing in fish tacos from beachfront vans. Creator, social media trailblazer, and award-winning internet guru. Hipster-friendly thinker & hardcore music maven. Falls down a lot.
