I can contribute to training programs in internationalisation, change management, women’s careers within the sector, and programs enabling the individual to reach their potential within an organisation’s developmental framework to meet the strategic objectives.
Expertise:
I have held roles including Academic Registrar, Director of Academic Services as well as Director of International at University of Ballarat, Victoria and Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne. I have undertaken consultancies with Deakin University, Melbourne, University of Westminster, London, Leiden University, The Netherlands and Linkopings University, Sweden, Sup de Co, Amiens, France. Many of the projects required evaluation of organisational structures, services and processes with recommendations for operational planning to meet the Universities’ objectives. These required strong thinking about outcomes and ability to see the core issues, development of clear plans and processes and dealing with conflicting views and preferences in complex Universities. I have a strong understanding of University governance, internationalisation, strategic planning and women’s issues, cross cultural awareness and the development, implementation and maintenance of University’s international relationships and partnerships for student, staff exchange and mobility as well as delivering academic programs.

Finally, we have a very active ‘association’ of US university programmes in the UK, with almost 100 members at the moment [www.aasapuk.org].
