Every day I am inspired by the many and varied personal journeys being taken by students. What drives me as a leader in International Education is seeing the tangible impact we can have on the learning and success of our students and researchers, both domestic and those coming from all around the world. 

The cultural exchange and deep connections formed through reaching out and connecting with the world through our courses and our research activities enriches our understanding and strengthens our institution, community and our nation.

Having worked extensively in International Higher Education & Training over the past 25+ years my interests include:

- Higher Education business strategy and leadership

- International partnership and business development

- International research cooperation

- International student mobility partnerships & customised programs

- English language and Pathway Program development & packaging

- Institution branding, positioning and marketing

Diversification of the international student cohort in terms of country, discipline and recruitment channel is a key interest area.
