She has worked across schools, universities, and not-for-profits to support diverse learners and build the capacity of educators, particularly those working in flexible or regional learning contexts. Her PhD focused on re-engaging disenfranchised youth through science education, and she has been involved in two major Australian Research Council Linkage projects exploring equity, engagement, and alternative schooling across Australia.
