Resume
About
I'm a creative communicator with a background in education, digital design and content development. I’m passionate about crafting thoughtful, engaging digital experiences, whether that involves clear instructional design, visually compelling storytelling, or user-first content strategies.
​
After more than a decade in teaching, I’ve transitioned into the digital education space where I now work as a Learning Designer, collaborating with universities such as the University of New South Wales and Southern Cross University to deliver interactive, accessible online courses. Along the way, I’ve developed strong technical instincts, built a suite of transferable digital skills, specialised in AI tool application and discovered how much I enjoy the intersection of design, technology and communication for learning.
I’m now seeking a new opportunity to apply these skills in a broader digital environment where I can keep learning, contribute creatively, and help shape meaningful online experiences for a wider audience.
