Chantelle Linnett is a bubbly person. She may need to draw deeply on that capacity in her new job as the Centre Administrator.

Chantelle will have two important roles—first, as executive assistant to Centre Director, James Whisstock, and second as the person who organises the administrative side of the Centre, running its programs and promoting it to students and the general public.

She comes to the Centre from working as the academic programs officer in the University of Melbourne’s Biomedical Sciences Academic Centre, where she was in charge of organising examinations and ensuring that student handbooks and lecture notes were printed. “I raised the reputation of a department which was not renowned for submitting its exams on time to near the top of the biomedical precinct,” Chantelle says.

Chantelle has also worked at RMIT, Deakin and Victoria universities and, during her eight years in administration, has gained “a passion for education and research”.

Outside of work, she’s just as energetic—playing tennis, listening to music, dancing and riding a bicycle 100km each weekend to prepare for the Peter Mac’s Ride to Conquer Cancer in October.
