My profile
Biography
I have worked as a Programme Support Tutor for Biology (Tutor) at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) for the past 10+ years (during and post PhD). I provide student support for academic skills e.g. academic writing, data analysis, and research design within Biology (Both undergraduate and postgraduate).
My main focus is data analysis but I am interested in Ecology and Evolution, Biodiversity, Conservation Biology, Wildlife Ecology, Behavioural Ecology.
