I started my academic career as a university lecturer and worked in schools in Australia while doing my MA and PhD degrees in educational studies at the University of Queensland (UQ). I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at UQ before becoming a lecturer at Monash University.

My research interests include graduate employability, globalisation and intercultural education and pedagogies. I have conducted research on intercultural education, especially on investigating how pedagogies work in different socio-cultural contexts, graduate employability, especially on how students and graduates develop and utilise resources to negotiate employability and transitions, especially resources that support children to succeed in transiting in early years learning and schools. I have conducted research in various countries such as Australia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Japan in higher education, schools and vocational sector.

Projects that I have joined and led include, for example, The Job Ready Program of the Australian Government, Learning Experience of Vocational students of AVETRA and VSA, Graduate Employability and Leadership of Tanoto Foundation and PRESET of LEGO Foundation. My work has been published on Higher Education, Higher Education Research and Development, Journal of Studies in International Education and others. I am currently having a group of PhD students who are researching employability and transitions from different countries.
