| Role and profile |
My primary teaching role involves the stewardship of Deakin's foundation year visual arts program.

Current priorities include: -addressing critical gaps in visual arts offerings and associated graduate attributes through the development of new and existing units - enhancing visual arts teaching and learning spaces; -expanding opportunities for experiential learning. |
