Education

I completed my BA from the University of Queensland in 1996, with a Postgraduate Diploma in Education, which is an internationally recognized certification for teaching at the K-12 level.  In 2002, I completed my MEd (TESOL/Second Language Teaching) with a research component at The University of Sydney, while continuing to work in the NSW public school system.  From 2004, I moved into higher education, and I began my PhD research, while working full-time at universities in Australia and Japan. In 2010, I submitted and passed my doctoral dissertation for the award of PhD (Education) from the University of Sydney.
