My research passions are diverse to fully utilise multi-disciplinary qualifications and practical industry experience, providing a unique strength in organisational problem solving, enabling practical research outcomes and generating authentic industry focused learning for students.  My qualifications include a Detective's Appointment (QPS), Bachelor of Law (QUT), Masters of Business Administration – Masters of Professional Accounting (JCU), PhD (Commerce-Marketing)(JCU) and membership of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD).

I have always worked full time while studying for my qualifications. This approach has enabled me to practically apply all of my skills and gain over 20 years management experience across private and public sectors.  I have provided services back to my community as a business consultant advising start-up and turn-around  business ventures, on Executive committees, think tanks and as a Non-Executive Director in Board positions throughout rural, regional and remote Queensland.

I have several years of experience living and working in Aboriginal communities across the Cape (Northern Peninsual of Queensland), the Gulf (Gulf of Carpentaria) and in Central Western Queensland. 

Due to these diverse opportunities, I have experience in the development, delivery and coordination of undergraduate, postgraduate, executive and professional practice programs (medical & veterinary) across a number of JCU’s Colleges and Disciplines outside my 'home base' in the College of Business Law & Governance.
