About me

I  lead writing support and academic skills programs at Adelaide University, where my work focuses on inclusive pedagogy, academic integrity, and supporting students to develop confident scholarly voices across disciplines. I have particular experience designing and embedding writing support for international students, neurodivergent learners, and first-year cohorts. Alongside this, I am an active researcher in literary and cultural studies. My research examines contemporary Ukrainian war writing, with a focus on trauma, cultural memory, multilingualism, and representations of national identity. I see teaching, research, and academic development as mutually informing practices. My professional work is shaped by my research, and my research is grounded in long-standing experience working closely with students and educators in the contemporary university.
