I am an Education Focused marine biologist. My research is focused on quantifying evolutionary, ecological and behavioural responses to environmental change, using tropical fish as model organisms. I am actively engaged in developing innovative pedagogical strategies to promote learning efficiency and student inclusiveness in the topics I teach. I have recently completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice in Higher Education (PGCAPHE) from the University of Dundee, which gave me both pedagogical qualifications, and knowledge to design and deliver effective teaching content. I am an advocate of the scholarship of teaching, and of research led teaching methods. I strive to provide active, engaging, and novel learning setups. My teaching combines modern and engaging lectures that combine a strong theoretical base, and first-hand practical experience of the topics explored. In summary, I am a biologist keen to continue my professional pedagogical development while delivering research-led teaching to create a successful learning experience for all students
