Janelle has a background in career development and student employability. In her time at ANU she has led student employability teams in the College of Business and Economics and the College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics supporting student employability through the delivery of work-experience, internships, mentoring and work-integrated learning programs. Key to the success of this work has been a strong focus on fostering relationships between students, industry and alumni for enhanced graduate outcomes.
Janelle brings her strong interest in supporting the ongoing personal and professional growth of others to her work with alumni of the Master of Applied Cybernetics. Since joining the School she has had the opportunity to undertake research interviews with our alumni, to help the School better understand the post-graduation experience and the amazing ways our alumni are applying cybernetics in their work and research.
Building on this work Janelle is now leading the development of an alumni program that aims to support alumni career development and network building. In true cybernetic form Janelle’s work with our alumni also seeks to feed back their experiences to strengthen the Master program and inform other research and activities of the School.
Analytical and practical with a strong passion for developing and supporting those around her, Janelle gains immense satisfaction from collaborating with others to create best-practice programs, processes and outcomes that benefit others.
Janelle prefers to spend whatever spare time she finds outdoors on long walks and taking in Canberra’s natural beauty.
