I have a continuing interest in supporting learning of two overlapping topics: scientific knowledge and professional skills. I’ve completed educational projects within formal university and public school settings, and also in museums, parks and training workshops.

• University Teaching
• Training

I’ve taught graduate students a variety of courses related to environmental management for 20 years. Course titles have included:

Training

Separate from teaching university courses, I’ve delivered over 200 short term (multi-hour, one day, multiple day) training workshops related to my employment or within consulting projects involving staff training and capacity development. They combine presentations, participatory activities and small group work.
