I work as the CEO of PsychMed, a large private practice in South Australia. I am an endorsed clinical psychologist and board approved supervisor. I am also in the role of Acting Chair for the APS State Committee. My clinical interests are varied although my current workload consists of primarily assessment work (cognitive, educational, disability, neuro, and medico legal) with a mix of therapy through NDIS and Medicare. I believe in supporting the community and also provide regional services through education systems. I am always happy to take on clients and to discuss and support up and coming psychologists in their developmental pathways.

I am a Lecturer and Senior HEA Fellow in the School of Psychology (at The University of Adelaide). I undertake a range of teaching and research activities, including the supervision of Honours students, Course Coordinator for the Graduate Diploma in Psychology, member of the Adelaide Education Academy, and a member of the Diversity and Inclusion in Teaching committee. I am interested in improving practice in the field of psychology education, whilst engaging in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning more broadly. My PhD research explored the development of graduate attributes among psychology students, resulting in a new definition of ‘psychological literacy’. I was awarded the ASCILITE ‘best paper’ prize for my research into building rapport in online learning environments. I have also published peer-reviewed research on the relationship between GenerativeAI and academic integrity, and co-creating teaching materials with students.
