Meet the Program Director
Providing high quality learning experiences that are student-centred and inclusive has been a key focus of my role since becoming a Lecturer with UniSA in 2017. I’ve a strong background in biology and completed my PhD here at UniSA in 2015. My research sought to understand the role of toxins in predator-prey relationships, with a particular focus on how freshwater predators interact with cane toad eggs and tadpoles. What I love most about my current role is getting to share my passion for science with students.
