Teaching

I have been teaching since 2007. Over the years, my teaching has spanned disciplines (Media and Music), levels (first-year to postgraduate), cohorts (over 500 enrolments to eleven) modes of offering (on-campus, online synchronous, blended, and external), and content (theoretical, practical/production, and creative/performance).

Since 2022 I have been Director of Education for the Department of Media, Communications, Creative Arts, Language, and Literature (MCCALL), one of the largest and most diverse departments at Macquarie University.
