PRESENTER(S)

Mrs Hannah Allan
Director Research Services & Systems, Curtin University and ARMS President

A passionate and transformational leader with 20 years experience working across multiple service-focussed industries including Higher Education, Technology, Finance and Transport Logistics. I use my demonstrated and certified experience in Leadership (Leadership WA Signature Leadership Program), Change Management (Prosci), Project Management (Prince2), Business Analysis (BCS BA Diploma) and design thinking to lead organisations through the identification and implementation of initiatives which achieve measurable outcomes. I believe that people are the key to every organisation's success and enjoy developing, coaching, mentoring and enabling others to implement successful and sustainable change.

HOST/FACILITATOR(S)

Ms Sheila Hamilton-Brown
Senior Coordinator, Research Tenders, Deakin University and Chapter Co-convenor

I am Senior Coordinator in the Research Funding Services team. The team I am in coordinates research tender proposals.

I have worked in research management for eleven years in areas of ethics and biosafety, grants and contracts. I am particularly passionate about supporting the research community, with vast experience in supporting medical and health-based research as well as ecological-based research; the latter stemming from my own work in terrestrial and freshwater ecology in a previous life.

I am so pleased that we have an advocate in ARMS to elevate the standing and advance the research management community of practice. I look forward to assisting colleagues in Victoria to connect and work collaboratively across institutions through the ARMS Vic chapter.
