I am a teacher, an experienced professional and an avid researcher in engineering education and construction project management.

My academic journey includes a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering, a Master's in Construction Management, and the completion of a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with the prestigious University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship. In my professional experience, I have contributed both in academic settings and as a senior engineer overseeing cross-country power transmission projects.

I have a strong passion for teaching and champion interdisciplinary learning. I enjoy computer programming, gamification, and hackathons!
