More About Me

What I want you to know about me...

I’m a disabled AuDHD animal scientist with a PhD in veterinary microbiology, epidemiology and bioinformatics. My research involved investigating how whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics can be used to detect the genetic basis of antimicrobial resistance in livestock associated enteric infections (E coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter). However I have now started my own tutoring business catering almost exclusively for students with learning difficulties. To supplement my own experience and knowledge I am also doing a Master of Education with a major focus on working with students on the spectrum.

But I write poetry and critiques in my spare time (precious as it is!) I have noticed recently that people have been blatantly plagiarising my work on here. I set this account up primarily to share my love and enthusiasm for poetry. So whilst I do not do this for an income (obviously) I would appreciate if you would attribute the work accordingly. Especially so I can join in on the conversation with any conflicting view points! Thank you.

My other interests include but are not limited to animal behaviour & welfare, biological science, bushwalking, cinema, classical literature, cricket, High Renaissance & Impressionist art, music especially Blues, marine reef keeping, Scrabble, theatre & live performance and winery tours.

About My Navel

Not sure about this. Clues are starting to fall like dew from my tangled web of ideas against the velvet darkness of confusion lit by the waxing moon of understanding. Soon I feel, I shall be able to answer this question, but not just yet.
