I am an entrepreneurial academic producing ground breaking applied research and teaching.

I am a world expert in Political Marketing and Political Management, produced award winning research on political leadership and public input, and am currently interviewing political staffers from Prime Minister’s offices to identify best practice in HR.

I have extensive experience appearing in the media and working with stakeholders in practice on public engagement. I also have multi-disciplinary leadership skills, success working across siloes, have championed new internal initiatives and in teaching focus on developing employability capability.
