About Me

Over the years I have worked in a variety of roles at CQUniversity, including research assistant work, coordination of a study travel program, and lecturing in teacher education. My doctoral thesis explored the impact of changing literacies on primary school educators.

I worked in CQUniversity's Skills for Tertiary Education Preparatory Studies (STEPS) enabling program from 2007 until early 2026.

My interest in adult learning and inclusive education has led to research into a range of topics that include enabling education, critical thinking, online learning, oral presentation skills, and the needs of students from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds.

These days, I work online from my Sunshine Coast home in my role as Adjunct Lecturer.
