I am currently a lecturer in the College of Psychology. My research interests include sleep psychology in vulnerable populations, unpredictable and non-standard working time arrangements, and managing workplace fatigue in safety critical industries. I am also interested in sleep in new parents, and fatigue and burnout in child and youth workers.
My PhD investigated the impact of on-call work on anxiety, performance, and sleep outcomes. Since then I have worked on a number of projects focusing on fatigue risk management, including work with the Australian National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and the Canadian workplace regulatory body WorkSafeBC.
I undertake research both in a laboratory environment and in the field (e.g., pilots, firefighters).
I also have experience in the review and development of industry fatigue management systems in a variety of industries, including rail, mining, healthcare, ports, and utilities.
I am passionate about providing high quality research supervision at the Honours, Masters, and PhD level. If you are interested in research supervision, please get in touch!
I am accredited as a primary PhD supervisor.
