Biography
I am a lecturer and early career researcher within the School of Accountancy. My research focuses on exploring ways to improve social and organisational conditions for marginalised people and stakeholder groups. I achieve this goal through integrating critical perspectives on accounting, accountability, evaluation and participation, into organisational practices and policies.My research is interdisciplinary and collaborative. I have a 20-year background working in diverse educational settings and engage in research that spans organisations accounting and accountability, evaluation, ethics, trust and education.
My teaching reflects this interdisciplinary background, as I teach across accounting research and evaluation topics.
My industry experience spans education, arts, agriculture and advocacy organisations and includes volunteering, management, financial, governance and board positions.
I am a member of the School of Accountancy's Accounting for Social Change research group and currently hold two journal editorial positions being Social Media Editor for the Social and Environmental Accountability Journal and Accounting Forum.
