I have been an academic at Canterbury Christ Church University since 2012, when I joined as a Lecturer in Biology to motivate and support students with my enthusiasm and passion for natural science. I completed a PhD in Ecology at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, and have a degree in Biology form the Eberhardt Karls University in Tuebingen, Germany.
Currently I'm the Section Director for Natural and Applied Sciences where I lead the Section in delivering excellent teaching and research and supporting students on our courses. Previously, I was the School Director for Learning and Teaching Environment. My goal is to help and encourage colleagues and students in creating a supportive, inclusive and exciting environment for learning and research in the natural sciences.
