Brief Bio
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and a Master’s degree in Professional Accounting from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). With 14 years of experience in academia, I have developed extensive expertise in teaching accounting and related disciplines across both local and international educational institutions. My academic career reflects a strong commitment to teaching excellence, student development, and bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. In addition to my academic career, I am a practising accountant with substantial experience in taxation and accounting services. I manage a broad range of tax and accounting matters for companies, small businesses, partnerships, and individual clients. My professional responsibilities include providing accounting support, managing tax-related obligations, and assisting clients in meeting their financial reporting and taxation requirements. The combination of my academic background, extensive teaching experience, and professional accounting practice enables me to bring a practical, industry-focused perspective to the classroom. I am passionate about equipping students with the knowledge, analytical skills, and practical competencies required to succeed in the accounting profession. Through the integration of academic theory and real-world professional experience, I aim to contribute to the development of future accounting professionals while maintaining strong connections between academia and industry.
