About me
I am a Senior Lecturer and Course Coordinator within Education Futures. From 2015-2020 I was the Program Director for the Aboriginal Pathway Program (APP) and Regions for which I won a UniSA citation. I was also recognised in the 2020 'Winnovation' awards in the category of Social Impact for my leadership of this program. Since starting at UniSA College in 2013, I have developed courses to build literacy skills (Communication for Academic Purposes) and foundations of pyschology (Introduction to Human Behaviour). I have also helped develop the course 'Building Academic Success' (EDUC1094) for the APP, as well as coordinated English Language Studies (LANG 46) and University Studies (EDUC1075). I also coordinate into UniSA Business in the course 'International Management, Ethics and Values' (BUSS3053). I am passionate about working with students to build their confidence and sense of student identity. This has led to my leadership and development of initiatives such as 'Starting Strong', an orientation program to socialise students into the academic environment.
Additionally, I lead a suite of professional development initiatives with Dr Sarah Hattam for Academic staff to improve student outcomes. This work resulted in a University citation and was recognised nationally in 'The Educator' Higher Education Innovative Universities report along with a national award for university teaching (AAUT). My current research examines initiatives designed to improve student and staff performance and outcomes and I have completed a Masters in Leadership. My PhD research is investigating how graduates in Business disciplines transition from Higher Education into the workforce.
I am a member of the National Association of Enabling Educators (NAEEA) and SA branch of HERDSA. As a member of the Higher Education Research Network (HERN) I lead the Graduate Transition, WIL and employability cluster.
