Biography

As the Director of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) in the ECU School of Business and Law, I am focused on enhancing students’ employability and career prospects through embedding meaningful work-based learning and industry and community engagement into the curriculum, as well as providing access to a range of employability-related activities. 

My work has been recognised by a number of research and teaching and learning awards, most recently a national Award for Teaching Excellence and the James W. Wilson Award for Outstanding Contribution to Research in the Field of Cooperative Education.

I sit on the National Board for the Australian Collaborative Education Network, the professional association for WIL in Australia, and maintain close links with industry through research projects, the WIL program and networking. I am also a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. As well as facilitating in the UK and Australian tertiary sectors, I have worked in Human Resource Management in financial and manufacturing sectors in the UK and in the tourism industry in the Middle East, Asia and Southern Africa.
