I'm a media educator at Macquarie University who is deeply curious about how we tell stories in online spaces. Whether by advertisement, TikTok, podcast, or brand pitch, I encourage my students to consider how methods of storytelling can forge connections with their audiences and create meaningful work. Before teaching, I completed my Master of Media at Macquarie, where I was awarded the university's Award for Academic Excellence. I was also acknowledged within the Faculty of Arts for my high achievement in writing and screen studies.
