Since 2016, I have been heavily involved in education within my professional fields. I have enjoyed guiding a wide variety of motivated students at primary, secondary, and tertiary (and beyond) levels towards achieving their goals. I advocate for a rigorous, well-rounded education driven primarily by intrinsic motivation rather than extrinsic pressures such as employability or societal expectations.

In Computer Science

I currently work as a Casual Academic at the University of New South Wales, having held various tutor, lab demonstrator, and assessment developer roles across various undergraduate and postgraduate courses. I continue to maintain student satisfaction ratings higher than the school, faculty, and university averages. Further information about my academic experience in computer science is available here.

I teach clarinet, music theory and analysis, and aural skills. My students have ranged from beginner to advanced abilities, and from primary-school-aged to adult. I have also been involved in various music education programs at several schools, and continue to contribute on an occasional basis.
