Sarah Yavitu, MSc
Professional Experience
I taught high school in New Zealand for five years then returned to Canada to complete my master’s degree. After I finished my master’s program, I worked as a substitute teacher in the Lethbridge Public school system. I was contracted for some curriculum development through Lakeland College and I also taught several different contract term positions for Lethbridge College over those years before being hired full-time by Lethbridge College. I have been teaching full-time at Lethbridge College since 2007. I mostly teach math and science courses in the Academic Upgrading program but also teach some Anatomy and Physiology labs as well as Biomechanics in the Exercise Science program.
I am not currently participating in research, but when I completed my master’s degree my research project examined the mechanical efficiency of a new bicycle design investigating biomechanical and physiological properties of the rider
