Aliyah Ravat

I am an accredited Project Manager with the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) and hold tertiary qualifications in Business (Marketing), Psychology, and Project Management. With over 7 years of experience in higher education, I have held diverse roles, including International Marketing, Digital Engagement, and Research Project Management.

Currently, I am the Research Manager at The Cairns Institute, James Cook University, where I oversee a comprehensive research program dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for tropical communities. My background includes strategic planning, analytical problem-solving, and effective communication, enabling me to lead cross-functional teams and deliver results under pressure. My commitment to continuous self-improvement ensures valuable contributions to team success and project growth.

Previously, at Griffith University, I managed the research project ‘An Incomplete Project’: Australians’ views of the US Alliance, funded by a Department of Defence Strategic Policy Grant. This project involved nationwide community engagement and culminated in the publication of a research report by The United States Studies Centre. The project’s achievements included a high-profile report launch at the National Press Club of Australia, as well as various blogs, livestreamed events, and media outputs.

I am passionate about research and higher education, striving to align my expertise with the pursuit of excellence in these fields.
