About Me

I am a work psychologist and interested in the behaviour of people at work and its reciprocal relationship.

The majority of my research is based on the identifying individual differences in adjustment to shift work and driver sleepiness. My research also extends to areas that are core to organisational behaviour/human resource management. Some publications focus on the contribution of learning to organisational performance, work-life conflict and thriving.

Prior to becoming an academic, I worked in the private sector including heavy manufacturing and finance.
