I am an historian and international education expert with extensive project management experience in an International Development and education context.
My research interests include international education, international development, foreign policy and their intersections.
I have a PhD from Deakin University. My thesis was titled Australian Government Scholarships for Papua New Guinea and the Pacific: mandates and mis-steps, 1948 – 2018. The thesis was awarded the Outstanding Postgraduate Thesis Award in the 2022 IEAA Excellence Awards.
I am a Senior Fellow of the International Education Association of Australia (IEAA), and I was the inaugural convener of the IEAA Scholarships and Fellowships Network.
