I recently joined RMIT as lecturer in secondary pedagogy and professional experience in the Master of Teaching program. In February 2024 I completed my PhD at Flinders University, Adelaide, under the supervision of Professor Shane Pill. My thesis investigated Physical Education teachers’ assessment of invasion games and sports in Victorian secondary schools. Prior to working in higher education I taught for 26 years in government, independent and international schools in Victoria, Vietnam, Germany, and the UK. I am also an experienced Head of Department in HPE in a high achieving F-12 coeducational school. My research interests include assessment, feedback, rubric design, games and sports, and initial teacher education. My research has a pragmatic lens that focuses on providing actionable outcomes for teachers to support student learning.
