Speaker | Researcher | Lecturer
I am an internationally recognised TEDx speaker, an emerging researcher, and a passionate lecturer.
I work as a Psychology and Counselling Lecturer at the University of Southern Queensland.
I am interested in research on relationships, suicide, bullying, stigma, medical education and research methodology.
For many, love is failing as a lot of us are guilty of self-sabotage!
Is this you or someone you know?

Phew!😅I am not doing as bad as I thought and with a bit more work I can definitely meet these goals. For me this means 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week, as well as strengthening activities at least two days a week! What about you? @usqedu @stuart_biddle
Ever wondered how much physical activity you should be doing? 🏃🚴
@usqedu's @stuart_biddle helped develop the @WHO's new Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour guidelines.

Research
Relationship Research
This current research project aims to assess how individuals’ differences contribute to self-sabotage in intimate relationships. Several studies are being conducted to investigate how characteristics such as demographics (i.e., age, gender and sexual orientation), relationship factors (i.e., status, duration, quality and stress), adult attachment styles, flirting styles, traumatic experiences and capability to cope with traumatic events can influence self-defeating behaviours. Additionally, studies are being conducted to develop a typology to describe romantic self-sabotours.
Suicide Research
Research conducted investigated cross-cultural perceptions of suicide and the impact of suicide stigma and religiosity on the recognition of suicide risk in others.
Bullying Research
Research conducted investigated the individual characteristics of adults who are bullied in the workplace. The cost to individuals and organisations was considered within the increase trend of work presenteeism.
Medical Education Research
This current research project aims to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with provision of high quality training for general practitioners working in rural and remote areas and increase the potential for workforce recruitment. Recommendations towards strengthening health care in underserved communities are considered.
