I absolutely loved getting to deliver an entire module, getting to know the students, and supporting them in learning about all our field has to offer. I am so glad to see that my students also appeared to enjoy the semester, and am very grateful to those who took the time to let me know.

Last year I had the absolute pleasure of re-designing and delivering our undergraduate Child and Adolescent Development course (mentored by my amazing PhD supervisor). PSY20020 is a core module for both the BSc Psychology and BSc Criminology with Psychology, with almost 200 students enrolled.
