About

Heather completed her Bachelor of Science (2009) and Master of Science (2011) at the University of Melbourne, graduating with distinction. After spending a few years in South Korea exploding vinegar volcanoes with kindergarten students, in 2017 she chose to return to Australia to pursue her PhD at ANU.
