I completed my PhD at the University of Queensland, School of Psychology, in 2012. My thesis investigated the role of ongoing gender inequality in shaping young Australians' expectations and intentions towards their future work and family lives. Having worked in academic research roles for several years and across several universities, I moved to Sydney to take up my current role with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency in early 2013. This role draws on - and enhances - my expertise in the field of gender equality across the lifespan and of the ways in which organisations and society can reduce inequality.
