I am an educator with a Masters of Secondary Teaching from Western Sydney University (WSU) and a Bachelors in Business Administration from Macquarie University. Currently, I am working towards gaining a Masters of Philosophy from the Queensland University of Technology. Over the course of my Masters at WSU, I was selected for the Summer Research Scholarship program, for the project on Menstrual Health Education, being supervised by Professor Kathryn Holmes and Dr. Christina Curry. The two-part project aims to reduce the incidence of undiagnosed menstrual disorders, and improve the levels of knowledge and understanding of ‘health literacy’ relating to the menstrual cycle and its management among young women, particularly adolescents in schools. During the course of this project, I developed a keen interest in educational research which was further enhanced while working as a research assistant at WSU. My current research project for M.Phil, being supervised by Dr. Kate Thompson & Dr. Charisse Farr, is aimed at improving the digital literacy skills of students from a refugee background joining schools in Australia.
