I am a lecturer in finance at the University of Sydney. From years of practice, I have developed a strong passion for educational research, with a focus on first-year transition pedagogy, academic integrity, and sustainable learning. My practices focus on designing authentic assessments and creating a feedback loop to promote student learning experiences and learning outcomes. I have a growing interest in student-staff partnerships to make the course inclusive and engaging for students.
