Summary
Summary
I am a Senior Strategic Teaching Fellow in the Department of Life Sciences teaching on a range of undergraduate modules on both the Biochemistry and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences degree streams. I am also involved in the ongoing review of the first- and second-year and postgraduate curricula. My background is in plant developmental biology and I've also spent time working in widening participation with the charity The Brilliant Club.
I teach on courses relating to cell and molecular biology, genetics and maths (see here). I am also a personal tutor for undergraduate students and am a Mental Health First Aider.
