Higher Degrees Research
“I won a national Excellence in Teaching Award in the early childhood category. I was nominated because I've been doing a lot of STEM- related projects with children, because science is my background, and also reconciliation-related activities. We've established a Bush Tucker Garden in our centre, and we now share the Bush Tucker products with the community.”
