Personal profile

Biography

My passion is numbers and data analytics! Before joining the University of Western Australia Business School, I worked as a marketing research and strategy consultant. I pass on this knowledge to my students to provide them with real-life job skills they need in business and data analytics. My students work on real client briefs developed by our industry partners, which gives the students real-life experience with data-driven decision-making. At UWA, we do research for start-ups, small and large local firms. If you have any questions about marketing research or data analytics, do not hesitate to get in touch! 

 

My research interests include corporate social responsibility, sustainable consumption, persuasion and manipulation (visual and/or linguistic). I am accepting PhD, Masters, and Honours students whose research interests align with mine and who have background in experimental research. Please get in touch with me directly if you would like to discuss your research ideas with me.
