Teaching

Teaching Responsibilities

I am keen to further science communication and education through helping pass on some of the great teaching I was fortunate to receive. I am currently involved in teaching tutorials for first year psychology students and look for opportunities to further develop my skills as an educator such as completing the AFHEA course and qualification.

Non-course Teaching Responsibilities

I work with Techfest to further science communication and teaching in a variety of programmes.
