Teaching Roles

         

Employed on a casual teaching contract, I support UniSA’s Creative Industries and Course Coordinators in delivering undergraduate programs across Marketing, Communication, Journalism, Business, Media, and related disciplines.

I conduct tutorials, provide individual and group mentoring, grade assessments with developmental feedback, and prepare structured presentations to facilitate student learning.

Drawing on both professional and academic expertise, I translate theoretical concepts into practical applications for domestic and international students, promoting critical thinking, research capability and creativity with strategic writing approaches.

My teaching goal is to inspire students through engaging, informative, and proactive methods that enable relatable learning, while fostering confidence and practical skills.

By creating empowering learning experiences and providing constructive feedback that identifies strengths and areas for improvement, I aim to cultivate the skills and confidence students need to succeed in contemporary creative and communication industries.
