About Me

I am an educator with 10+ years of experience in digital technologies education, research and software engineering. I am a versatile and adaptive problem solver who enjoys working with technology and people on projects that aim to have a positive impact.

I completed my PhD in Education at the University of Newcastle, Australia in 2020. The focus of my PhD research was on the design and evaluation of a professional learning program for K-6 school teachers learning and teaching computer coding, called Coding in Stage 3. You can read more about the program on the Coding in Stage 3 program page. You can also view my thesis on the university's OpenResearch website.

Prior to my PhD, I completed a Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours Class 1) degree at the University of Newcastle, Australia during 2010 to 2015. More recently, in 2025, I completed a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40122) through Forsythes Training.
