Nola Holmes

Nola is the First Year and Academic Advisor for the UNE Business School and School of Law. Nola's primary focus is working with undergraduate students in these Schools, providing discipline-specific academic support as they transition into studies, and successful progression through to course completion. 

Nola has extensive management and consultancy experience in both the private and public sectors in Australia, and in Hong Kong where she lived for many years. These areas include the business sector, cross-sectoral professional networks, health/community sectors and legal communities, especially working with others for whom English is not their first language. Facilitating academic support for transitioning students and international students commencing studies in the tertiary sector is a priority. Nola has also held senior positions as a consultant, lecturer, teacher and advisor for universities, vocational colleges and secondary schools in both Australia and Hong Kong, so is well-placed to assist students transitioning into and through university study at UNE. Nola's wide-ranging and international experience across multiple disciplines and education systems underpins her focus in this dedicated academic role.
