Technical Courses Leader & Higher Education Administrator


Biography

Currently the Technical Courses Leader as well as managing the administration of the Academic Committees. I come from a background in arts and education previously the Courses Manager at Circomedia for 7 years. My career has encompassed employment through arts administration, education and project management. I have over 20 years administration experience with a focus on cultural and academic project management since 2009, working for a variety of education providers such as galleries, festivals, government initiatives, colleges, and universities.

As I have been working with students in higher education administration since 2012, I have developed an in-depth knowledge of academic course requirements, protocols and legislation and have been involved in all aspects of the student life cycle. I feel my training and work experience has helped me meet the challenge of creating and sustaining meaningful, productive and equal partnerships between students, industry and Higher Education providers.

Students developing and growing in confidence during their time here, seeing their work reaching professional standards in approach and execution; a student who intends to be a stage manager producing a wonderful sound design; a first year student making a lovely recording of a song for their recording project; tracking the careers of former students and seeing them be successful; being able to find a job opportunity for a recent graduate.
