My current position at Swinburne University of Technology is economics lecturer in the Accounting Economics Finance and Law department in the Faculty of Business and Enterprise.

While at Swinburne I have taught in a number of areas but have specialised in International Finance, Macroeconomics and Microeconomics. I have taught at both postgraduate and undergraduate levels, and have also taught in Vietnam and Sarawak in Swinburne programs. Teaching and learning has changed considerably over the past 26 years, in particular becoming more student-focused and real-world focused. I have endeavoured to incorporate new techniques into my teaching to reflect the desire of students to develop skills that will help them move from the learning environment to the work-place.
