Academic Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Biotechnology (Honours)

Biography/Research Project

Throughout my high school years I developed a keen interest in science, particularly biology. I extended my studies by enrolling in the Bachelor of Biotechnology degree at Flinders University, discovering that there was much more to science than biology, chemistry and physics. The degree progressed through all aspects of biotechnology from environmental and agricultural to medical biotechnology, however it was clear to me by the end of my third year that my interests remained in biological sciences. During my honours year I began investigating alternative respiratory pathways. I have since commenced a PhD project in the School of Biological Sciences in the aim of characterising the alternative respiratory pathway of Arabidopsis thaliana.
