Anatomy and Physiology

Research Interests:

I am a passionate academic with a natural interest in teaching and an avid curiosity that drives my goals in research. I have used various opportunities to educate students in physiology over the past seven years and have thoroughly enjoyed each moment of shared understanding. While my MSc focused on the physiology of learning and memory, my PhD explores the Anatomy and Physiology curriculum using Critical Realism and Legitimation Code Theory.
