Biography

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK), senior lecturer and first year coordinator in the School of Health Sciences, and Deputy Associate Dean (Student Engagement and Retention) in the College of Health and Medicine. My teaching philosophy incorporates a desire to enrich the first-year experience and she uses a transition pedagogy to share her love of science with students and engage and support a diverse cohort in active learning using interactive resources. I continually engage in reflective and comprehensive evaluation of various SoTL projects and initiatives, to ensure sustainable and effective teaching and am a recognised leader in quality assurance, curriculum review and mentoring through collaborative approaches to professional learning. I am the current Branch Chair of HERDSA Tasmania and the recipient of five teaching merit certificates (2004, 2007-2010), a UTAS Vice Chancellor’s Citation (2012), a OLT Citation (2013) and the UTAS Vice- Chancellor’s Teaching Excellence award (2018).
