experiential learning, and inclusive practice into higher education. My work
encompasses curriculum innovation, authentic assessment, and impactful industry
partnerships that support diverse student cohorts in developing professional
skills and securing graduate-level employment. I have received institutional
awards for excellence in both education and inclusion, and I actively
