I have expanded enrolments to meet workforce demand, embedded the UTS model of learning, and consistently achieved strong student satisfaction scores. My leadership includes guiding the rapid transition to online learning during COVID-19, developing innovative case-based assessments, and designing new curriculum subjects that foster high engagement and cultural responsiveness.
