TEACHING EXPERTISE

My teaching is aligned with my strengths in research. I have supervised multiple Honours and Masters students to thesis completion. I have had a long involvement with the Honours program in Health Promotion, Health Science & Public Health and also taught into the Masters of Public Health. I am passionate about bringing research to life and helping students navigate the research process. I love to see students suceed in publishing and presenting their research and ultimately adding to the evidence base in their area.
