Teaching

I'm a Senior Tutor in the Department of Infrastructure Engineering at the University of Melbourne, undertaking a wide range of teaching roles, involving face-to-face classroom teaching and lecturing as well as behind-the-scenes curriculum development work.

Prior to taking up this role, I was a sessional tutor in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne, where I delivered weekly workshops to a diverse range of engineering, IT, maths and science students taking the subjects Engineering Computation and Database Systems.
