What I Do
I provide strategic, practical support for researchers applying for competitive Australian Research Council (ARC) grants. With over 15 years’ experience working within the Australian higher education sector, including the past 7 years as an ARC grant strategist at UNSW, I help applicants strengthen the clarity, competitiveness, and strategic positioning of their proposals.
My services are designed to meet researchers where they are in the application process: from early-stage strategic conversations through to detailed written feedback on full grant drafts. I specialise in DECRA, Discovery Projects and Future Fellowships, with additional experience across Linkage Projects, and ITRP schemes.
Whether you need a focused strategy session or expert, written feedback on your draft, my approach is rigorous, honest, and grounded in a deep understanding of ARC expectations and assessment processes.
