    Work History

    From May 2022 until October 2024, I was the EduTech Lead for TAFE NSW, managing a remote and dispersed team of 18 staff across NSW to research, develop and deliver immersive and engaging educational experiences.

    Starting in vocational education at a specialist blended delivery centre over twenty-five years ago, we were early leaders in the emerging e-learning era, creating engaging and innovative activities that pioneered what could be delivered online.

    Ten years in the conservation industry allowed me to develop large project management, stakeholder engagement, communication and negotiation skills.

    In 2012 I headed back to vocational education, teaching ecotourism and foundation studies. My flair for educational technologies steered me towards learning designer work and digital capability uplift for teachers.

    Since 2018 I have been chiefly working in the learning technologies field and business partnering at C-Suite level on behalf of ICT.

    Skills

    I have extensive demonstrated experience leading and managing large complex projects.

    I am a highly engaging and experienced teacher and facilitator who is passionate about imparting my own knowledge and skills to other teachers to support them to incorporate learning technologies into their delivery where appropriate.

    My superpower is researching, testing and playing with emerging learning technologies. With so many years experience in the learning design and technologies field, I am competent in using and building with a plethora of edtech tools including Moodle, Canvas, Articulate 360, H5P, Microsoft 365, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, Kahoot, Padlet, Mentimeter and more.

    A thoughtful and human leader, I can quickly build rapport and earn respect from direct reports, developing successful and effective teams.
