WORK HISTORY

I have background in education, particularly Arts Education, mainly at RMIT University  School of Art, Melbourne over three decades during which I have been able to observe, experience, help develop and enjoy the evolution of many ways of delivering curriculum appropriate to its times. I have worked at all academic levels as an educator from the TAFE section to Post-Graduate supervision and all levels in between.
