More about Dane

What made you choose UNE?

I wanted to study microbiology and/or botany but was working full time in Wollongong. UNE allowed me to study a double major in microbiology and botany by distance, while I worked. The intensive schools and assignments ensured I also got the hands-on experience I needed. I naturally progressed to complete my honours and then begin my PhD on-campus at UNE.

Best thing about UNE?

I met fantastic students from all over Australia at the same time as receiving a quality education.

Career Aspirations?

Ideally I would like a post-doctoral research position or a teaching/research position so I can continue to do what I enjoy.

Study your PhD at UNE

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
