(he/him)

• I do my best work in the classroom: I am a teaching-focussed academic specialising in ecology and zoology with the UQ School of the Environment (SENV). I coordinate BIOL1050 Organisms: Interactions & Functions, BIOL2010 Ecology, BIOL2910 Advanced Ecology, BIOL2205 Insect Science, BIOL3238 Insect Structure, Function & Physiology, and SCIE3010 Science Engagement in the Community. Learn more about my classroom and teaching style here.
• Our science undergraduate students inspire me! I'm the Bachelor of Science Program Director at our Faculty of Science and in this role I provide overarching leadership around the positioning, review, renewal, quality assurance, and student experience for UQ's Bachelor of Science program. I am always keen to hear from our BSc students about your student experience!
• Within SENV I chair an incredible team of colleagues in my capacity as Director of Engagement and Advancement, which manages the relationship between us and our future students, international university partners, alumni, donors, and industry partners.
• I get to support secondary teachers in Queensland train our next generation of scientists! I deliver professional development workshops to senior science teachers, science technicians, and teacher librarians. Together, we have built a strong community of best practice in teaching secondary biology in Queensland.
• I lead an award-winning team (informally known as the 'G-Unit') that engages with high schools in Queensland and key international university partners, and this includes the development and delivery of bespoke learning immersions (including study tours), future student recruitment, and science communication.
