My Awards
2025
Distinguished Creative Teaching Award (Deans and Directors of Creative Arts - DDCA)
With Bernadette Hardy, Sara Padgett Kjaersgaard, Sing D’Arcy, Gillian Barlow, Anissa Jones, and Dharug Dharawal Ngurra
“The submission is exemplary in comprehensively demonstrating the process of embedding First Nations knowledge and processes into courses in Landscape Architecture and Interior Architecture. Overall, this submission is most worthy of this teaching award as the team succeeded in creating a space for students where learning is deeply relational, supporting embodied understandings in a co-creative environment and grounding design thinking and practice in commitment to and care of Country. Such pedagogical work is transformational with cross generational impacts and ripple effects."
2022
UNSW Arts, Design and Architecture Collaboration Award
With Iva Durakovic, Louise Studdy, Aaron Connolly, Matthias Haeusler, Daniel Yu, Cristina Ramos Jaime, Sara Padgett Kjaersgaard, Samantha Rich
"Since 2019, colleagues from Built Environment (BE), Social Sciences (SOSS) and the ADA WIL team have collaborated closely with community groups and NGO partners to co-develop and co-run a suite of local and international BE ‘Community-Based WIL’ (Work Integrated Learning) projects, housed within the jointly designed BE-SOSS Professional Placement course. These real-world projects aim to cultivate civic engagement in students and foster meaningful benefit for, and with, community partners. Spanning a range of project typologies, their overarching focus is on SDG11 (Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) through community-led approaches, in First Nations and Global South settings.
