MLC Coordinator

I completed my undergraduate degree in Physical Education and Mathematics teaching here at UL and am currently conducting my PhD research under the supervision of Dr Olivia Fitzmaurice and Prof. John O’Donoghue. My research focusses on effective ways to teach trigonometry in order to build a conceptual understanding of the topic.

My research interests include the teaching of trigonometry, levels of mathematical content knowledge for teaching, and the preparation of pre-service second-level mathematics teachers for teaching. I am currently in the write-up phase of my PhD in UL.
