Hiya Irina!
Irina Belaya joins the EdTech Office (ETO) as our new Educational Technologist, Academic Toolbox.
You might think that with the return to on-campus learning that the ETO might be getting a little quieter - and that would be....incorrect. Fortunately, our ability to provide support is expanding with our new Educational Technologist. Irina will be your first point of contact when you submit an inquiry to fase.edtech@utoronto.ca.
Irina joins the ETO Team as an Educational Technologist with experience in providing application and technical support in educational environment, end user training, documentation creation and website design. Irina has an MBA in Management Information Systems and currently obtaining a certificate in Data Science, hoping to implement the learnt skills in her new role.
Before joining the EdTech office, Irina worked with the Digital Workplace team (EASI) helping clients with their managed computer requests, including hardware and software support, network and VPN solutions, operating system migration and user orientation about new technologies. Prior to her information technology related positions, Irina worked as a Multicultural Center coordinator in Girne American University in Cyprus developing social programs and events that support student success and development.
Outside of work and professional interests, Irina likes trying recipes for healthy snacks, exploring new places, and spending time in nature and capture all the wonderful moments of beauty with her camera.
