🌱 What I Value. What Matters to Me.

I believe learning is a living thing — something to be shaped with care, not control.
✨ Curiosity is my compass — it guides how I teach, how I lead, and how I listen.

Whether I’m building an AI model or planting seeds in a garden classroom, I follow the spiral inward — toward the patterns that nourish understanding and spark belonging.

My work is at the intersection of:

• 🧠 Educational neuroscience

• 🔢 Mathematics and machine learning.

•  With care and good design, small interventions unlock deep transformation.

🤝 Rooted in Purpose

I’m grounded in the values of curiosity, equity, and connection — values that align deeply with ATU’s Strategic Plan (2024–2028) and its pillars of student success, digital transformation, and inclusive education.

Since completing a PhD in mentoring at 25, my journey has been shaped not by systems, but by students — and a mentor who believed in me when I was just starting out.
Now, I pay that forward. Every day.

.🔍 What That Looks Like in Practice

“If you want something done efficiently, ask someone who knows how to work smart.”
This motto encourages resourcefulness and a growth mindset 

• I also used my 2021 President’s Teaching Excellence Award bursary to purchase a telescope, helping to make the stars more accessible. After many conversations with students in maths class In 2025, I supported science students Colien Puetz and Dr Gary Kenny in founding ATU’s first Astronomy Society. Its inaugural event — a talk on gamma rays by Dr. Gary Kenny — celebrated co-leadership and student voice in shaping academic culture.

🚀 Looking Ahead

I remain committed to leading with integrity and imagination — continuing to amplify student voice, remove barriers to participation, and promote equity-driven, research-informed learning that aligns with ATU’s mission and the transformative vision of Technological Universities.
