I am an education focussed academic, and contribute to clinical and preclinical teaching in the Master of Clinical Optometry program, predominantly in paediatric optometry and binocular vision. My interests include evidence-based clinical teaching and practice, and the relationship between vision and learning. I co-convene the paediatric strand of the final year course, and deputy convene the postgraduate course in advanced paediatric eye care.
