I teach general and organic chemistry to first year students studying health degrees at the Gold Coast campus of Griffith University. I am dedicated to positively addressing the challenge of scaffolding the academic success with a demanding curriculum. I am particularly concerned with enhancing the quality of my courses and student learning outcomes through scholarly reflection and systematic evaluation.
