About
I am a PhD-qualified research analyst with extensive experience in professional writing, advertising campaigns, and strategic communication. I design and evaluate social media analytics, campaigns, and media research using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches, and I bring strong technical capability with SPSS, MAXQDA, and NVivo to processing interview data and survey analysis.
Over the past decade I have worked across academia, government, and international development, leading research and engagement initiatives, mentoring staff, and translating complex data into actionable insights for clients and communities. I hold a PhD in Gender and Social Justice (USC, 2025) and a PhD in Media and Cultural Studies (QUT, 2000), along with an MEd TESOL (2015) and an MBA in Communication Management and Persuasion (1995). I am proficient in a broad set of research and design tools including Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, Tableau, and a range of qualitative and quantitative analysis software.
