Director, International
Ara Institute
With a career that began in the music industry during its digital revolution, I witnessed firsthand how shifts in consumer behavior disrupted entire sectors. Transitioning to higher education, I’ve held key leadership roles, including Director of Strategy and Government for Macquarie University, Director of International and Student Engagement for Lincoln University, and Industry Development for Education New Zealand. Now, as Director of International at Ara Institute, I focus on cultural and digital transformation to meet the evolving needs of students worldwide. I’m passionate about sustainable development and empowering tertiary education to shape tomorrow’s change-makers.
