About
Educator, curriculum thinker, and reluctant technologist working at the intersection of technology and learning in Australian schools.
The best way to reach me is by email. I try to respond within a few days.
I am based in Canberra, Australia. I work best in written conversation before moving to a call — it gives us both time to think.
I speak on a small number of topics where I think I have something useful to add:
- AI in education — what it actually does, what it doesn't do, and what that means for assessment and teaching practice
- Assessment design — building measurement that is valid, meaningful, and not just defensible on paper
- Leading digital change — the organisational and cultural dimensions that the technology vendors don't mention
- Curriculum and literacy — what it means to teach reading and writing seriously across every subject
I am selective about engagements. I am not available for all-day conference keynotes, but I am interested in workshops with genuine professional dialogue and time for questions.
If you are working on something in education that you think I might find interesting — research, a publication, a curriculum project — I am happy to hear about it. I can not always commit, but I will always read.

Still easiest by email.
Written conversation first. Social links second. No performative contact forms.
