About you

I am an industry practitioner of Marketing Communications and Digital Media, having worked with brands in America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania in the food industry and government before moving into tertiary education in Australia. My academic and professional interests are at the boundary between communication and public policy with a socio-cultural focus on how policies are shaped by institutions and power.

My professional experience has been in consulting and in-house positions mainly focused on Market Research and brand communications (reputation) for organizations in the seafood, hospitality, and public sector. I have been fortunate to have worked closely with some amazing entrepreneurs and international organizations in efforts to amplify their brand and organizational missions (sustainable, excellence, inclusion, meaningful change, and research-informed learning).
