Teaching


I began teaching casually at The University of Newcastle, Australia in 2016 after graduating my BSc (Hons). I have had the pleasure of learning from some amazing teachers and mentors who have inspired me to pass on knowledge in an engaging and stimulating way. Watching the next generation of scientists and ecologists realize their passions is a wonderful experience.
