Before joining CQUniversity, I held a number of positions at universities in Australia and abroad. I spent several years working at QUT Brisbane and the University of Nottingham Ningbo China guiding and supporting students of various backgrounds and academic pursuits through their degrees. 
In 2016, I joined Southern Cross University (SCU) Melbourne. Working with a diverse student population, I developed critical insights about modern university teaching environments and strategies to create engagement, promote inclusivity, and build student confidence. While working with SCU, I earned several additional postgraduate degrees, including an MBA and a Graduate Certificate in Education Research that further emboldened my academic status and teaching acumen.
In 2025, I received a PhD at Deakin University examining the collaborative, strategic and operational factors that enable organisations of various sectors to move toward more environmentally sustainable business practices. With organisations facing intensifying regulatory pressures to adopt more sustainable business practices, my research sought to aid decision making for regulatory compliance, particularly around sustainable performance. My research also explores the vital role of knowledge acquisition and transfer in accelerating a circular economy for packaging. 

I have undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from University of New England and Deakin University.

I have worked at Deakin, RMIT and University of Melbourne. Before my PhD, I also worked at Southern Cross University Melbourne, the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and QUT Brisbane.

I am a citation recipient of 2023 Deakin University Faculty of Business & Law Teaching and Learning Award.

At Southern Cross University Melbourne, I taught Management Communication MNG81001, Managing Organisations (MNG10247), Sustainable Business Management (BUSN3002) and Applied Ethics & Sustainability (SOC11004). 

While I was at Deakin, I taught Management (MMM132), Business Analytics (MIS171) and Business Ethics (MMM343). When joining RMIT and University of Melbourne, I tutored Integrated Perspectives of Business Problems (BUSM2577) and Managing Sustainably (MGMT30008) respectively.

Prior to joining CQU, I was an academic coordinator with Southern Cross University Melbourne. Preceding this, I held numerous higher education-relavant teaching and academic support roles in multiple Australian and overseas universities.

In my ongoing efforts to expand my teaching capacities and professional development, I have recently completed a PRME (Principles of Responsible Management) pedagogy certificate and am working towards completing a Graduate Certificate in Tertiary and Adult Education.

I have advanced skills in the use of Excel and Power BI for data dashboarding and data analysis. I also have a good level of knowledge in using SQL for Google Cloud Platform and BigQuery.

For research purposes, I frequently employ R and IBM SPSS extensively for quantitative analysis and NVivo for qualitative analysis. 

I led the development of a report on regional resilience in north-western Victoria, which examined how institutional and governance arrangements and coordinative processes shape regional economic resilience. Under a range of compound disruptions such as a drying climate change, supply chain disruptions, and structural reforms related to new green energy industries, region's capacity to cope and adapt to such changes are largely dependent on the capabilities to reorient social, infrastructural, economic, and institutional process for structural transformation opportunities. The report is currently in final stages of review for publication with a ABCD - A academic journal - Regional Science, Regional Studies. Follow-up projects are currently underway that focus on understanding community acceptance of renewable energy transition in Victoria. 

I also authored an industry report for The Climate Centre, a non-profit dedicated to addressing environmental and climate-related challenges through research, advocacy, and public outreach. The Climate Centre conducts policy analysis focusing on evaluating and improving the Australian government’s policies, particularly in the context of Australia's green energy transition and environmental commitments. My contribution is a chapter outlining industry progress on addressing government policy around sustainable packaging.
