“In my own education journey and my experiences with recent graduates over the years I have witnessed the benefits of great education and disappointment where it is out of touch with the real world.  I am thrilled RMIT is tackling these challenges through the Industry Advisory Board, and I’m proud to have the opportunity to use my experience and knowledge to support the university in creating the next generation of industry ready graduates.”
