Teaching
I currently lecture second and third year students in Strategic Public Relations and Issues and Crisis Communication. I currently manage the internship program for final year Public Relations students. The CSU Internship program gives final year students the opportunity to put their skills into practice, giving the students a greater insight into their chosen profession. The internship program and the focus on practicum activities are key strengths of the degree offered by Charles Sturt University.
