  May 2012 - Aug 2012

  Field Research Assistant

  ► Dog overpopulation poses serious animal welfare issues and major threats to human health. In 2012, the community of Puerto Natales (Chile) was struggling with a large population of free-roaming dogs. A long-term management plan was therefore established in partnership with Veterinarians Without Borders - Canada and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). A key component of this plan was to determine through a research study whether chemical castration effectively reduced aggression and roaming behaviour in male dogs. Show less

  Université de Montréal

  Teaching Assistant

  In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Université de Montréal was transitioning to online teaching, I was asked to tutor remotely, from Australia, 19 teams of 2nd year veterinary students and assist them with the planning of their assignment for the course of Veterinary Immunology. Key tasks included:✔ Teaching the pathophysiology, diagnostic and therapeutic approach of 19 clinical immunology cases, including the management of canine and feline lymphoma using chemotherapy and immunotherapy. ✔ Coordinated 20+ Zoom tutoring sessions and effectively managed a 16-hour time difference, resulting in excellent feedback from the students and a renewed contract offer from the University.
