BIO
I am a Lecturer in Nursing at the University of Tasmania with over 15 years’ experience in progressive healthcare leadership and service improvement, now translated into higher education through program and unit coordination, assessment innovation, and student-centred teaching. I teach across nursing and health management, designing learning that is authentic, evidence-based, and closely aligned to real-world clinical and organisational challenges.
My academic work is anchored in quality and safety, leadership, and workforce development. I actively refine curriculum and assessments to strengthen practical capability, using approaches such as scenario-based tasks, technology-enhanced learning, and responsive improvement cycles informed by student feedback.
I am also undertaking a PhD focused on optimising personal energy management for performance and wellbeing in frontline nurses, using a sequential mixed-methods approach to develop and validate a new measurement tool and applied framework.
