Good teaching is mostly rapport: a little humour, a lot of sincerity. The biology comes easier after.

My passion for biology sparked while diving in Fiji, the year before university. My love of teaching began even earlier, instructing karate from the age of 16.

Since then, teaching has become a natural extension of every new interest I pick up, whether that is diving, climbing, or running. That instinct is what eventually led me to share my academic love of biology in the classroom.

I believe humility and reflection are a teacher's real strengths. We are always learning, even at the front of the room, and I am driven by collaboration, creativity, and steady growth alongside my peers.
