What will I be doing at DOC?

My Fellowship is an opportunity for me to "be a scientist" for 6 months! The purpose of the Fellowship is to become a science leader in my school, and to get students and teachers engaged and excited by learning in science. Already, I can't wait to get back to my Year 5 and 6 students and get stuck in to science!

I LOVE being in and around the sea, exploring and having fun. My area of interest is marine science, but I am taking any opportunities offered! My host at DOC is a young marine scientist by the name of Callum Lilley. Much of his work is around monitoring the coastline around Taranaki, including Marine Protected Areas and Tapuae and Paraninihi Marine Reserves.

I will also be working with scientists from Taranaki Regional Council, Victoria University of Wellington, and the University of Auckland.
