Teaching interests

I have taught courses across computer science, information systems, research methods and human computer interaction at both undergraduate and masters level. My teaching approach is student-centric, and ethics driven; I want the students to have the best learning experience they can while also meeting the learning objectives. One key focus of my teaching is demonstrating the practical importance of what students are learning, I have engaged industry speakers from Deloitte, EY, KPMG and Services Australia to this end. I hold a graduate certificate in University Teaching.
