I worked as a Data & AI consultant with Deloitte. I worked with clients to identify and address their data issues, and expand their data capabilities. This included implementing robust data governance frameworks, policies, and procedures; uplifting organisational data fluency; data modelling and exploration; data analysis and visualisation; data interpretation and reporting. I like that this role allowed me to work hands-on with data and work closely with clients to help them understand their data. This role gave me experience with a broad range of industries and organisations, workflows, and technologies.

In this role I conducted novel human experiments to investigate how our motor actions are influenced by recent sensory and movement history, and the outcomes associated with our movements. This research contributes to our understanding of not only what prompts us to move, but how we plan and execute these movements. My research involves electrophysiological measurements (EMG and EEG), motion-capture, behavioural tasks, use of a robotic manipulandum, force-plate measurements, immersive 3D visual stimuli, and more. I work in a large, collaborative team, ranging in experience from students and volunteers to Professors. We harness the varied skills of this multidisciplinary team to produce consistently high-impact and rigorous scientific publications. One of the main components of my role is to develop the custom hardware and software required to run cutting-edge research, and the bespoke analytic tools to analyse the data. I also contribute to supervising students, designing and running experiments, analysing and interpreting the data, and writing publishable reports.

I am redesigning the tutorial content for a core undergraduate Psychology course. I am working with the course coordinator to develop a series of experiments (programmed in MATLAB) to be used as learning devices for students. I am also developing a number of tutorials dedicated to teaching core concepts in programming, and data handling/analysis. I am also designing assessment items related to programming in MATLAB.

I tutored students in 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate neuroscience courses, graded students’ work, and contributed to the development of course content. I have taught experimental and analytic programming in MATLAB, as well as advanced concepts in neuroscience and experimental design. I have received consistently positive evaluations, and been asked to contribute to the development of content for other courses within the university.

I conducted EEG and behavioural experiments on behalf of a visiting academic at the Queensland Brain Institute. I was responsible for the recruitment and testing of human participants, and the setup and maintenance of the EEG and behavioural equipment.

I worked nights, stocking shelves at Coles, to support myself during my undergraduate degree.
