I am a Senior Librarian in the UWA Library's Research and Academic Engagement team. We provide a broad range of support to UWA academics and HDRs across Library systems and services, while also facilitating access to the Library's Special Collections. I have a special interest in music/humanities collections and research, digital approaches to special collections, as well as the the open access dissemiantion, and persistent identification, of non-traditional research outputs. I currently serve as the Executive Officer of the Library Leadership team.

Previously, I worked as an Information Specialist (Research Assessment) in Research Publication and Data Services. In this role I was an administrator of the UWA Profiles and Research Repository (Pure, Elsevier), and institutional expert in the curation, auditing, and reporting of the University's research and its metrics (including via SciVal and InCites). Across 2024–2025, I led the design and implementation of UWA Creative Works. I have also held a variety of positions across UWA since 2018, in the Library, with IT, and at the Conservatorium of Music.
