Anne Braund began her academic career at CQUniversity’s Bundaberg campus, where she worked from 2000 to 2009. She then moved to Hong Kong, joining the English Schools Foundation and Chinese University of Hong Kong to design and deliver English language programs for students from non-English speaking backgrounds.

In 2016, Anne returned to CQUniversity as part of the School of Access Education. She focused on curriculum development and coordinated academic communication support for students ranging from preparatory education (STEPS) through to Research Higher Degree candidates.

Anne's current role is Head of Services in the School of Access Education (SAE). In this role, she leads the Academic Learning Centre’s programs across CQUniversity and oversees the development and delivery of SAE’s micro-credential courses.

Beyond CQUniversity, Anne is co-lead of the National Association of Enabling Educators Australia (NAEEA) Online Learning Special Interest Group, collaborating and publishing with colleagues from universities across Australia that provide enabling courses similar to STEPS.

Anne's contributions have been recognised with the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Exemplary Practice in Learning and Teaching, and she has been named a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) for her commitment to excellence in teaching and learning support. Anne is a current PhD candidate, researching the factors that influence equity students’ completion rates in both enabling and higher education.
