Biography
Working at a regional university has helped develop an awareness of the value of strategic and programmatic research involving collaboration with, and benefits for, the local community. As an early career researcher, I have pursued professional development opportunities including attending faculty-based research sessions, HDR training workshops, two ASCPRI courses (applied computer-assisted qualitative data analysis and applied statistical procedures), SCU, national and international conferences. Through my PhD research I have learnt that a political axiology can facilitate impact and real change desired through research. Key contexts of research experience include nursing education, teaching and learning scholarship (simulation learning) and workforce.
