After completing my undergraduate BA majoring in psychology/law I was awarded a competitive Industry Learning scholarship by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO). In this role, I was particularly focused in research, and after a yearlong scholarship I had designed, conducted and reported on the research project. Upon graduation, I was working with BAE Systems midway through my Health Science Honours the following year. During this time I identified a gap in training needs related to required software, and decided to change my career path to Education. I am passionate about teaching, research and sharing my experience with my students.
