I’m a professional staff member at the Centre for English Teaching, and I’ve been an active member of the University of Sydney NTEU since 2021. I was closely involved in the 2022-2023 industrial campaign, and have been a member of the branch committee since 2024.
I served as a proxy National Council representative in 2025, and since then I believe that is where I can make the best contribution to our branch, with your support. I think our union has a key role to play in combatting the crisis in higher education in Australia, and I hope as National Councillor to play some part in that. I believe in a fighting union that pursues an ambitious bargaining strategy, including pay rises for university staff that combat the cost-of-living crisis.
I am passionate about university governance reform, and will fight for a university system where staff have a say in how it is run. I will also use my position on National Council to continue to advocate for the support of Palestine and the boycott of Israeli higher education institutions.
I’m proud to be running with the Rank-and-File Action ticket for inclusive, non-sectarian, member-led unionism.
