Hello!
Welcome to my online portfolio which I hope will offer you an insight into my:
- Professional and academic background, interests, specialisations and vision
- Future aspirations and goals
- Academic and professional development services to students
Introduction
My career objective is to continue to explore my passion for educational technology, university teaching and vocational education and training that I’ve discovered through the course of my IT and entrepreneurship studies at Flinders University while supporting my students to be innovative and competitive in a time of where careers in the ICT industry are arguably rapidly changing and evolving.
I'm currently professionally employed as a Learning Technology Officer at Open Access College where I have the privilege to work closely with parents, staff, students and teachers to effectively use a range of technologies to enable high-quality distance education to 5000+ South Australian students who:
- Are adults re-entering study to complete their South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE)
- Are home-schooled, rural and isolated
- Are engaged in elite sports
- Cannot study desired modules and units of study at their school
- Have family commitments such as parenting and caring responsibilities
- Have medical conditions which prevent them from attending face-to-face education
- Have professional commitments such as full-time employment
Prior to that, I worked as a Client Support Representative at Blackboard where as part of the Moodlerooms Enterprise (MRE) team I advised and supported university academics, staff and students to effectively use their hosted Moodle to enable high quality teaching and learning. While I was at Blackboard, I also worked as an academic tutor within the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University where I delivered weekly 90-minute Web-Based Systems Development tutorial classes for 30+ second year undergraduate students. Through my roles in client support at Blackboard and academic tuition at Flinders University, I had the pleasure to work with students from four leading Universities committed to providing exceptional teaching and learning opportunities for their enrolled students.
I have extended experience in a range of educational podiums including student and graduate development and recruitment, attrition prevention, academic tuition, mentoring and enabling technology in educational settings.
