Biography
Leveraging my previous academic studies, and the wealth of insights gained through my 25 year professional business career, I am now pivoting my attention towards academic research, writing, teaching and community based volunteering activities. I am passionate about history, and memory studies. My current PhD project is exploring the significant personal impacts of family history research in the Australian context. The project is under the supervision of Professor Jane Lydon, Discipline of History, School of Humanities, UWA.
