TEACHING EXPERTISE

My teaching philosophy focuses on providing authentic, individual learning opportunities to each student. I am passionate about graduate employability and high-quality education, which align with the Deakin 2030 Strategic plan (Education and Employability) and I strive to incorporate all six key areas into my teaching. I tailor my interactions with students to harness their unique capabilities throughout their course, and ensure they are career-ready upon graduation.
