I am passionate about using technology to improve the human condition.
I am Chief Technology Officer at BlueRoom Simulations, helping design mixed reality solutions for first responders and defence medics around the world.
I have a PhD from RMIT University examining how values can be accounted for in serious game design. I have co-authored a range of publications related to the use of serious games, simulations and virtual environments in education, and I am passionate about research with practical, real-world outcomes.
I am the Managing Director of Games for Change Asia-Pacific, and have over 20 years experience creating award-winning serious games and simulations for education and training.
I also co-founded The Lab – a nationwide network of technology clubs for young people with Asperger’s Syndrome which now operates in over 35 locations across Australia.
As a board member at Simulation Australasia I was the Serious Games Convenor for the Australasian Simulation Congress, and managed the Serious Games Showcase and Challenge Australasia.
I have worked as an educator, researcher and advisor at a range of universities.
