01 / ABOUTConnecting ideas
Connecting ideas
to real-world impact.
My work sits at the intersection of project management, emerging technology and the people who turn plans into outcomes.
I’m a Senior Lecturer and Program Manager for graduate programs in Project Management at RMIT University’s School of Property, Construction and Project Management. I bring experience across academia and industry to my teaching, research and professional engagement.
Before and alongside my academic career, I worked across project management, quality management, knowledge management and consulting. That practical perspective shapes the questions I ask and the way I teach.
