I am passionate about building enriching learning environments as the platform for positive social impact, and my focus on internationalisation stems from my belief that varied perspectives and experiences are key for holistic growth, inspiring creativity and innovationI love to learn and have benefited from diversity of thought and action in my own journey of 30 years of experience have contributed meaningfully to the areas of institution building, international collaborations, academic administration, accreditations, project management, consultancy, research, teaching, and training.A multidisciplinary academic background has trained me to combine scientific rigour with business acumen. Continued diverse experience across academia and industry helps me to transfer learnings as well as design relevant programs for emerging societal needs, and my many different operational roles in developing international partnerships, nurturing industry relationships and engaging with government stakeholders have made me versatile, conversant with cross-cultural nuances and trained me to balance vision with realism. But it is my time mentoring students, faculty and staff, inspiring them to go beyond their potential, that makes me smile every day.
