About Me
I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney, Australia. I hold the titles of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) and Associate Fellow (AFBPsS) of the British Psychological Society in the UK. I also serve as the Director of the Health, Effectiveness, And Retention of Teachers (HEART) Research Group.
My research interests lie in understanding what makes a great teacher and school leader and how to support their effectiveness and wellbeing. My aim is to contribute to improving teacher retention rates and increasing the social status of the teaching profession.
I have engaged with numerous national and international organisations, including UNESCO’s International Teacher Task Force; UK Government’s Open Innovation Team (Department for Education); GIZ (German semi-government development agency) in Malawi; and ImpactEd (UK education non-profit).
