I am an experienced researcher, lecturer and biology and chemistry teacher. I have plenty of experience with teaching at university level, as well as with younger children through my years as the leader of a family nursery and the founder of the Foundation for Young Amateur Naturalists. I grew up as the youngest of a large family of six, so family is an important background in my life. Since coming to the UK, I have made sure to get into childcare and teaching. I registered with Ofsted and am a self-employed childcare provider as well. I also teach high school students chemistry and biology. I genuinely love science and nature, one of the reasons I got a PhD in Biology.
