I am an academic with a vast experience teaching English as a second language, academic writing and university preparatory courses both in Argentina and Australia.

I joined CQUniversity in June 2014 to set up a new Foundation Studies course for international students and to work in the Skills for Tertiary Education Preparatory Studies (STEPS). within the School of Access Education (SAE). I am currecntly the Deputy Associate Dean, Operations in SAE, where I have also held a variety of roles, including lecturer, Access Coordinator (Sydney campus), Unit Coordinator of the academic writing units, and Acting STEPS Head of Course (November - February 2019).
