Driven to become a scientist, I moved to Australia in 2007. After completing my studies, however, I realised I'd like to share my experience in adjustment and adaptation with people who go through change. I support individuals in building resilience through creative ways. I believe in the power of education.

I have worked as an educator, teacher, researcher and advisor. I enjoy learning from different disciplines and applying best practices to support individuals. Empathy, quality service and innovation are my values.

Key responsibilities

I meet with students who have issues related to their studies at Flinders or life in Australia. I provide advice on how students could overcome the barriers or difficulties they face.

I refer them to other service providers at the university – or outside the university, if necessary – and liaise with academics to assist the students with their studies. I design activities and events for students to help them socialise and develop professional skills.
