I graduated with a BSc (Hons) and PhD in Environmental Science from National University of Ireland Galway (2005 & 2011 respectively) and went on to complete a 2 year postdoctoral research position in University College Dublin (2011-2013) before joining the lecturing staff on the BSc (Hons) in Applied Freshwater and Marine Biology at GMIT as a lecturer in freshwater ecology and biology. My expertise lies in wetland creation and habitat monitoring, water chemical analyses, phytoplankton monitoring, freshwater pollution management, lake management and conservation, and the application of drones to conduct water sampling. Since joining GMIT, I have become an established researcher in the MFRC and have participated in and led several research projects.
