Summary

As a qualified computer science professional with a bachelor's degree in computer science and a master's degree in software engineering, I have honed my skills in designing, developing, and delivering engaging curriculum during my 3 years as a lecturer at Western Pacific University. In this role, I successfully created and taught courses across 7 units. Beyond my academic expertise, I excel in administrative roles, demonstrated by my experience as the Student Representative Council (SRC) President and my current role as a mentor for the SRC to foster effective student leadership. My experience collaborating with the Higher Education Department of PNG has provided me with valuable insights, as I played a pivotal role in training and educating selectors on the National Online Selection System (NOSS) and students on the National Online Application System (NOAS). It is not just my unique blend of educational and administrative experience that positions me as a well-rounded candidate, but also my strong communication and soft skills that have been developed through performing various roles over time, making me agile and adaptable.
