About

I am an enthusiastic, agile and forward-thinking academic who enjoys working with others, trying out new ideas and developing high-impact outputs to meet the challenge of future Australian tertiary education needs. I have wide and varied experience in all educational sectors, including secondary schools, adult education, vocational education and higher education.

I have contributed extensively to leadership at RMIT in a variety of transformative roles including Associate Dean (Education) in the School of Education, Senior Advisor in Learning and Teaching, Program Manager, Graduate Teacher Performance Lead, and Design and Digital Technologies subject expert in the School of Education.

I am recognised for my creative collaboration, energy and passion in leading learning and teaching initiatives that promote thinking, active learning and student agency.

I have proven ability to work well with others. I have been a co-leader, member and/or project manager and researcher for a number of national learning and teaching projects, including academic development, learning and teaching, and technology-enabled active learning spaces.
