Francesca Tubb

PGCE Biology
2021

In 2019 I graduated from the University of Southampton with a BSc (hons) in Zoology. I then completed my MSc in Wild Animal Biology at the Royal Veterinary College London in conjunction with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) in 2020. Despite the pandemic I managed to graduate at the top of my class! During this time I gained valuable experience working alongside some incredible vets, pathologists, curators and keepers.

Although my initial goal was to work abroad in conservation research, graduating during a pandemic changed my career path. I ended up working in a London secondary school and found a real passion for teaching. I am really looking forward to carrying out my PGCE and hope to pass on my love for science to my students.

Aside from science, my favourite thing to do is travel. This has been sabotaged a little by the pandemic but I hope to be able to embark on another adventure soon!
