Hi, I’m Asa.
While I can provide a range of academic administration support and course-specific advice in regards all business and law courses, I specialise in providing assistance for our undergraduate business courses.
I have completed my Master of Science at Victoria University as an international student and have been working at Victoria University for over eight years. I began working in VUHQ before moving into my current role as Course and Unit Advisor.
Opportunity to meet students from all walks of life and hearing their stories, goals, aspirations and support them to achieve their academic goals is what I love most about my role. I really look forward to meeting you to support you and see you succeed.
In my spare time, I love to travel with my family and try out amazing cuisines and learn about different cultures.
Hi, I’m Effie Moustakas.
I can provide a range of academic administration support and course-specific advice in various undergraduate and postgraduate courses from the Information Technology, Science, Built Environment disciplines. I also provide information on the Bachelor of Early Childhood course.
I’ve been working at Victoria University for over five years. I have over 20 years’ experience working in a range of organisations including education, commercial, private and not-for-profit sectors. My background includes marketing and sales.
I love the specialised knowledge that I am able to provide to students as well as the flexibility VU provides. I also enjoy the student face-to-face interaction.
I enjoy spending time with my Chihuahua x Shihtzu and going for long walks with her. I love cooking and entertaining and I have a passion for interior design.
Hi, I’m Grace Ellis.
I provide a range of academic administration support and course-specific advice, primarily for the Early Childhood and Engineering courses, but also all other programs across the colleges.
I have four years’ worth of experience in the Higher Education sector. I have recently relocated from NSW, where I worked in a similar position. I love getting to know students, solving problems and seeing all your hard work pay off come Graduation.
I love VU because of the level of care and dedication that is displayed. Everyone I have met goes above and beyond to do the best that they can for students and the university as a whole.
I am passionate about providing an excellent all-round service, providing students with a full ‘check-up’. This means that any potential future issues are solved before they can escalate, and you can focus your time and energy on learning and absorbing new information.
In my spare time, I love travelling, eating (everything!), hiking, reading and watching movies snuggled on the couch with my partner and our cats.
Hi, I’m Jessie.
I am available to provide a range of academic administration support and course-specific advice throughout your time at VU.
I completed my Bachelor of Youth Work at Victoria University back in 2016 and have been working at VU for over six years, in a range of different roles. These have all been based in providing support for both current and future students.
I find it really rewarding to become a part of a student’s university journey and see them achieve their academic goals from start to finish. I’m very fortunate to work with students and staff from culturally diverse backgrounds, and meet new people from all around the world.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends over wholesome food and I enjoy watching anything comedy-related.
Hi, I’m Mark Falconer.
I provide a range of academic administration support and course-specific advice, primarily for the Bachelor of Education courses but also all other programs across the college.
I joined Victoria University four years ago after working at the University of Melbourne for around 20 years. So I have vast and varied experience across all areas of university administration.
I like the way that VU offers opportunities to both staff and students that other universities don’t offer.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling to many and varied places, doing a bit of snow skiing or bike riding, or just going out for a nice meal and a glass or two of red.
Hi, I’m Natasha.
I can provide a range of academic administration support and course-specific advice for counselling, psychology and social work courses.
I’ve been working at Victoria University for a number of years in a wide range of roles, but started as a student here myself, so I understand that university life can be tricky to navigate. It’s great to know that there are so many support services available to help VU students on their study journey.
What I love about VU is the multi-cultural vibe and meeting people from different walks of life.
I enjoy trying different types of food and travelling. I am extremely passionate about the beautiful game of soccer, and in my downtime I like to listen to music and watch comedy.

In my spare time I love to travel and enjoy finding shops with good food and coffee.
I love working at VU because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn irrespective of your upbringing.
Hi, I’m Sophie Moustakas.
I can provide a range of academic administration support and course-specific advice. My expertise is in postgraduate education courses.
I’ve been working at Victoria University for over 20 years. This has provided me with an abundance of skills and knowledge in both sectors of Higher Education and Polytechnic. Throughout this time, I have worked for various departments including the Short Course Centre as a coordinator and Enrolments Offshore as a Team leader. This has enabled me to provide the best information and support as a Course and Unit Advisor to students regarding all aspects of the students life cycle from enrolment to completion.
What I enjoy most about my role is supporting students and being a part of their VU journey. Seeing students complete their qualification and move forward in their goals and careers is really rewarding.
