My career has also included roles in ecotourism, outreach and science education. I have worked with students of most ages and have a lifelong passion for science and scientific communication.

I started my journey at Murdoch as an international student to pursue postgraduate studies in Education. My career began as a teacher in the UK, and after immigrating to Australia, I worked at Phoenix Academic in Perth, helping international students prepare for university. Since joining Murdoch nearly 15 years ago, I’ve taken on many roles across various disciplines. Outside of work, I’m a proud mom and an experienced yoga teacher. I believe in the power of connecting mind and body to shape how we think, feel, and communicate and use this embodied approach to help students create meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences!
