AU Pathways and Participation

Academic

Alice is a lecturer with Education Futures based in the UniSA College.  She is currently coordinating Introduction to Biosciences (NASC 1009) and Introduction to Human Physiology (HLTH 1048). She has been working with the UniSA College since 2018. She is also a member of the teaching team for the Graduate Certificate in Education Studies (Digital Learning) and coordinates Introduction to Digital Learning (EDUC 5243). With a background in academia having taught at the University of Adelaide since 2010 in the Bachelor and Master degrees of Viticulture and Oenolgy. Alice has a PhD on 'Enhanced wine-making efficiency through foolproof malolactic fermentation: Evolution of a superior Lactic Acid Bacteria’. Alice loves working in academia because she has been attending Universities since she was enrolled childcare and school holiday programs at Deakin University, Geelong.  Alice is passionate about encouraging students to engage with the sciences to spark an interest in learning and discovery.
