I am Pat Nelson, a teacher at FNSS in School District #81, Fort Nelson, BC.

In the fall of 2024-25 I taught Physics 11, Science for Citizens 11 and Workplace Math 11. During the second semester I am on a leave.

I am involved in our school robotics team, and do community science shows under the name Mr. Dr. Professor.

I was born in Vernon, but spent my first 12 years living on Haida Gwaii. In 1997 my family moved to Cranbrook, I graduated from Mt. Baker High School there in 2003. After a few years of work and travel I went to the University of Ottawa to complete my Bachelor's in Science (Specialization in Math). I did my education training at the University of Victoria and hold a Master's of Math for Teachers from the University of Waterloo.

In 2014 I got married and in 2015 I became a father. I run, hike and cross-country ski. I enjoy gardening, reading, and cooking.
