About Me…

In 2022 I received a PhD from the University of South Australian Business School. My PhD was titled, The Impact of Airbnb on Metropolitan and Non-Metropolitan Housing Markets in Australia.
I am a ‘pracademic’ - someone who is both an academic and an active practitioner in their subject area.
I specialise in housing, Airbnb, toursim, local economic development, regional workforces and Australian local government.
