Dynamic Senior Academic Developer with extensive experience in designing and facilitating professional learning opportunities in higher education. Bringing expertise in curriculum development and quality assurance, successfully led accreditation initiatives and projects that enhanced academic excellence. Proven ability to engage with academic staff and industry stakeholders, utilising innovative teaching practices and AI systems. Eager to contribute strategic insights and collaborative leadership to support institutional goals.

With over eight years of experience in academic planning, curriculum development, programme accreditation, and quality assurance, I bring a strong blend of strategic insight, pedagogical expertise, and practical implementation experience that aligns well with the needs of this role.

My background includes leading curriculum review processes, supporting programme design aligned to national and international qualification frameworks, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and accreditation standards. During my tenure at the Council on Higher Education, I gained deep experience in programme evaluation, quality assurance systems, and stakeholder engagement — all of which strengthened my ability to guide institutions in developing robust, future‑focused curricula.

In my academic development work, I have facilitated professional learning for academic staff, supported the integration of innovative teaching practices, and contributed to the creation of inclusive, student‑centred learning environments. I am particularly passionate about designing curricula that are coherent, outcomes‑driven, and responsive to evolving disciplinary and industry needs. My current doctoral research in higher education further enhances my ability to bring evidence‑informed perspectives to curriculum design and evaluation.

I have completed studies towards a Master of Education in Assessment and Quality Assurance.
