BIO
I am a lecturer in the teaching intensive pathway. As such, I focus on teaching courses across biology, but I also dedicate time to researching new pedagogical approaches with a focus on lowering barriers for people with marginalised identities in STEM fields. While my background in is neuroscience (in particular, perception, visual processing, generation of movement, and circadian rhythms), I teach broadly--ranging from microbiology to physiology to ethics.
