Adjunct Research Fellow, Rural Sociology, University of Southern Queensland
My PhD thesis has been submitted, evaluated and passed but is not yet formally awarded.
I have an undergraduate degree in Agricultural Science, a Masters in International Studies (Peace and Conflict Resolution) and a Diploma in Professional Coaching. I have worked with and in rural communities for several decades as a facilitator, knowledge broker and accredited mediator. Growing up in the far west of NSW, after graduation I worked for rural advocacy organisations, then the Department of Natural Resources and then worked with numerous government, corporate and community organisations as a Queensland consultant.
