Woking as a dedicated Guest Lecturer in Zoology with a strong academic and research interest in the fields of Immunology, Fisheries and Aquaculture, and Molecular Biology and is actively engaged in developing a deeper understanding of biological processes and their applications in life sciences. As an educator, committed to creating an engaging learning environment and helping students develop a strong foundation in zoological concepts, contemporary biological sciences, and research methodologies. Alongside teaching responsibilities, she is also currently pursuing a Ph.D., with research interests focused on advancing knowledge in the field of Zoology. The doctoral research provides an opportunity to integrate molecular and biological approaches with practical applications in fisheries, aquaculture, and immunology.

With a combination of teaching experience, interdisciplinary research interests, and a commitment to continuous learning, she aims to contribute meaningfully to higher education, scientific research, and the development of sustainable approaches in aquatic and biological sciences.
