TEACHING EXPERTISE

My teaching focuses on the ecology or marine, estuarine and freshwater
ecosystems. I teach across all three levels of the Bachelor of Environmental
Science (Marine Biology) and Bachelor of Fisheries and Aquaculture degrees at
Warrnambool. I have supervised 23 Honours students working in a range of
aquatic ecosystems, including lakes, rivers, estuaries and the open coast.
