I am currently an Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour. This is my second career. My first career, spanning more than a decade, was in Australian banking where I held a range of management positions in IT, Marketing, Change Management and Operations. I conduct individual and collaborative research in the areas of gender and careers, diversity management, work and family, and employment relationships. Current research projects focus on diversity practices and organisational outcomes, women’s turnover, work family conflict, and psychological contracts. My teaching interests are in the areas Human Resource Management and Organizational Behaviour, Management, and Managing Diversity. I am a current member of the Australia and New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM), and the (US) Academy of Management (AoM). I have served in several AoM Division committees, and I'm currently a member of the AoM's Diversity & Inclusion Theme Committee. I'm also a member of the Australian Human Resources Institute, and a Senior Associate of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia. I have worked, or am currently working, on projects with local business organisations including AHRI, Diversity@Work, the Victoria Police Force, and the Australian banking industry.
