Biography
I am a Teaching & Leadership Academic (FHEA), and Senior Lecturer in Statistics at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. I completed a Master of Science in Mathematics at Jagiellonian University in Poland and a PhD in Statistics at Macquarie University. After gaining seven years of experience as a Quantitative Analyst at Westpac Institutional Banking, I returned to academia and have taught statistics, undergraduate and postgraduate, including large enrolment units, in both face-to-face and online delivery modes.
