Haywood completed her doctorate degree at the University of Auckland, focusing on molecular systematics. Her thesis project aimed to rapidly identify toxic algae which can cause serious food poisoning.[3] The title of her 2002 doctoral thesis was Morphological and molecular systematics of unarmoured dinoflagellates (Gymnodiniales, Dinophyceae) from New Zealand.[4]
In 2001, while working at the Cawthron Institute in Nelson, New Zealand, Haywood successfully applied for a fellowship from the L'Oréal-UNESCO Awards for Women in Science.[5] She was the first recipient of such an award or fellowship from the Southern Hemisphere.[3] Haywood used the fellowship to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in the United States.[2] Her post-doctoral work was at the Florida Marine Institute.[3]
