I am the Associate Director Academic, Social Innovation at CQUniversity, Head of Innovation Courses and one of the University’s two Ashoka U Change Leaders. In my role at CQUniversity, I am leading the development of innovation courses and the University’s vision to embed social innovation into the curriculum across courses.
Prior to CQUniversity, I was a senior consultant for the Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI). At TACSI, I led many projects for different organisations and federal and state government departments. I have extensive experience working on the front-line supporting people with disabilities, researching with culturally and linguistically diverse groups, lecturing and teaching many subjects across university faculties, and running my own creative business.
I hold a PhD, a Master or Arts (Research) and a Bachelor of Design (Honours).
