🧪 I’m a secondary science educator with interests in biotechnology and molecular ecology.
📚 Recognized with the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence in STEM (2018), I focus on bringing real-world biotechnology and molecular ecology research experiences to secondary students.
🧬 My independent research explores environmental DNA (eDNA). My first project, repliSTREAM, replicates Ballini et al. (2024) and compares multiple bioinformatics pipelines (Barque, APSCALE, eDNA-Container App) for fish community analysis.
🔎 Looking for an unconventional 🧬eDNA project mentor and collaborator.
🌱 Current interests: eDNA metabarcoding · molecular ecology · biodiversity monitoring · biotechnology
