TEACHING ACTIVITIES

I earned a UCD Professional Diploma in University Teaching and Learning, and hold the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) badge. I coordinated core modules for the MPH/EPH programme  (Master of Public Health and European Public Health), Nursing undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and the MSc One Health, and contributed to curriculum development, reviews, and revised assessment strategies while teaching across different modules and programmes. I have supervised MPH and MSc Nursing dissertations, as well as PhD students, with a focus on inclusive, research-informed education that engages diverse international student cohorts and contributes to programme development and review.
