TEACHING

​

After completion of my PhD I worked as a lecturer at the University of Melbourne for almost 2 years (2022-2023). I was the subject co-ordinator for 3rd year Sedimentary Geology, as well as teaching 1st year, 2nd year, and Masters level subjects.

​

My approach to teaching focuses on engagement, inclusivity, and active learning. I believe in creating a classroom atmosphere that is welcoming to everyone, and providing a learning environment that is interactive and stimulating. I strongly believe that the practical component of geology is essential to a thorough understanding of Earth Sciences, and enjoy providing lab and field work opportunities for students. 

​

I believe an understanding of Earth sciences is foundational to a healthy society, as it is an integral part of key aspects of our lives including understanding the natural processes that govern the planet we live on and sustainable management of resources.
