I am an experienced academic and Learning/ Educational Designer with twelve years of experience in Higher Education as a lecturer, tutor and curriculum developer. I have created foundational, undergraduate and postgraduate courses for Trinity College, University of Melbourne, and the University of Lincoln. As an experienced Learning Designer for Keypath Education, I have worked with world-leading University partners to co-create bespoke online educational courses with a range of academics from numerous faculties. I am currently consulting with academics and SME's for the Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne to transition face to face subjects to online delivery. I have experience in Canvas and am passionate about blending pedagogical principles (constructive alignment, authentic assessment, and cognitive learning theories) with cutting edge learning design technologies and storyboarding. My unique background allows me to see course development from both academic and developer perspectives, and as such anticipate client needs and pressure points for a smoother and more collaborative process. My Ph.D research area involved the convergence of the medical humanities and psychoanalytic/literary trauma theory. I have experience supervising MA dissertations and have acted as a consultant to a doctoral thesis in this area.
