Prior to joining academia I was a senior HRM professional having worked in Australia, Fiji islands and the Middle East. I have worked at three public universities in Australia (Southern Cross University; CQUniversity and Curtin University) and a private higher education provider (Australian Institute of Business) prior to joining Torrens University. I am a Fellow of AHRI and AITD and a member of the AHRI Advisory Research panel. I am a foundational convenor of the ANZAM Mixed Methods Research SIG and a Board member of the Mixed Methods Research International Association (MMIRA). Current research interests are focused around the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the impact of 4IR technologies on sectors and professions, AI and Ethics and skilled migration.

HDR SUPERVISION: I have supervised many MPhil, PhD and DBA students who have used a variety of methodologies inlcuding: mixed methods research, grounded theory, multi method case studies, MMR action research, quantitative approaches and qualitative approaches (ethnography). Topics that students researched included: Leadership in VET, performance managment in elite sports, work life balance and social networking, organisational change, governance in charities, coaching in the workplace, learning transfer in workplace learning, leadership development in not for profits, complex adaptive systems in defence and health management and bereravement in the workplace. Current students are researching in skilled migration, graduate employability, impact of job automation in manufacturing and AI for career counselling.
