Undergraduate Courses:
Presented my research at the 2023 Falling Walls Lab Aotearoa New Zealand and placed 2nd amongst 21 other researchers from New Zealand. This allowed me to present Fiji, the Pacific and New Zealand at the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin, Germany. I have been the only representative from the Pacific to ever present at the Summit.
