I hold a PhD in management from Murdoch University in Perth. I have two Masters degrees in environmental science and an MBA in higher education management. My Honours degree was also in environmental science.

I am a leading researcher and acknowledged expert in the field of career management of professional staff in higher education in Australia and the UK. I apply a sociological lens to career theory to extend thinking on how individuals establish and manage their careers within organisational structures and power relationships. I publish in top career journals including Gender, Work and Organisation (Q1; ACBD=A), Studies in Higher Education (Q1; ACBD=A), and Career Development International (Q1; ACBD=B).
