About me

I am a Senior Lecturer at Murdoch Business School, where I teach International Business and International Negotiation. I am also the unit developer and coordinator for MBS567 Global Competency and Employability. My research focuses on intercultural competence, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), the internationalisation of higher education, and teaching and learning, with a particular interest in preparing students to thrive in diverse and global contexts.
