About
I have had two years of experience as a tutor during my masters. Doing a Ph.D. at the University of Melbourne has allowed me to develop strong communication skills and the ability to work both, as a team and independently. I am highly appraised for my public speaking skills and the ability to explain complex concepts in the most simple ways.
