At PwC I have worked with a diverse client portfolio to drive a better understanding of Australian privacy legislation and embed the correct working practices across organisations. I have undertaken Privacy Impact Assessments to assess the maturity of the client environment and where required I have helped clients to create privacy frameworks and supporting policies and procedures.I have worked with clients to prioritise their efforts to lower risk of non-compliance and unethical behaviour, and ensure any changes are implemented in the most impactful sequence. I have created strategic privacy roadmaps for clients to ensure they stay ahead of future regulatory changes and meet current and future community expectation.My deep, research-based understanding of privacy, combined with my knowledge of risk and business processes results in an ability to help clients build out privacy policy suites, training material and embed underlying processes to support privacy policies.

I’ve been facilitating the course “Ethics and Technology”. The ethics and technology course focuses on data protection, privacy and surveillance of data in relation to security technologies and health care. Furthermore, the course is introducing students to various value based design strategies order to solve privacy related problems in technology.During the semester I prepared the students for a range of tests, and held meetings with individual students and groups, providing them with an oral evolution of their output and advising on opportunities to improve.

I managed a research project from initiation to completion, planning and tracking work to a schedule and ensuring timely delivery of key outputs. I delivered the finished project on time after three years of work. In this research project I analysed a complex problem involving governments’ use of dataveillance, data protection and informational privacy. Based on my research I suggested a change in how governments use individuals’ data, and proposed a specific methodology to help reconcile the values of informational privacy and public security in technology.As a part of my research project and to enhance my research skills I went to the USA for 2.5 months to work on the research project and collaborate with a research centre in the field of ethics and technology. I collaborated closely with a number of professors at the research centre, which both developed and challenged my research skills and helped me become stronger at building relationship. In addition to the research project I lectured on a weekly basis on topics such as ethics & technology, data protection, privacy and surveillance of data in relation to security technologies and health care. Furthermore, the course is introducing students to various value based design strategies (including Privacy by Design) in order to solve privacy related problems in technology.A part of the lecturing included setting the exam, coaching students individually and in groups and providing ongoing feedback on output.
