Collaborating with professionals and stakeholders, I've led expert teams to craft cutting-edge esports curriculums. My leadership spans sectors like QUT and Education Queensland, solidifying my position in esports education. I'm proud of introducing the first Esports Diploma at QUT, contributing to its evolution. The new Australian Curriculum Version 9 and AI's rise magnifies my work at all educational levels. I aim to arm students with skills for esports careers such as management, coaching, and content creation. Upholding Equity and Excellence, we emphasize diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing while aligning with industry norms. I seek partnerships to enhance student welfare. Let's collaborate for a shared impact.
