Profile

I have recently been seconded to CALT from the Faculty of Business and Economics where I am the Manager, Teaching and Learning Development. I am currently working as the Project Manager - Academic Development on the restructure of the Graduate Certificate of Higher Education (GCHE).  I have worked in both teaching and educational leadership roles in Secondary, Primary, TAFE and Higher Education sectors. I am passionate about teaching and continue to teach Master’s level students in the Faculty of Business and Economics.

Prior to working in the Faculty of Business and Economics I worked as Project Manager for MUELC. In this role I was responsible for projects which identified needs in the market and contributed to the company’s ongoing business. On these projects I had full project management and educational design responsibility. Two significant projects I managed were the award-winning ADEPT academic skills enhancement program for the Graduate School of Business and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s (DIAC) Professional Year program for graduate international students – a program now offered by providers nationally.
