Background. As Associate Dean, Learning & Teaching for the QUT Business School I am responsible for leading and managing the Business School’s teaching and learning strategy, curriculum innovation and learning design (including online), program quality, accreditation and compliance processes. My portfolio also includes the administration of student services and support, the development and implementation of strategies for engaging and supporting learners, and enhancing the professional development and teaching capability of academic staff. My research interests are founded in the theoretical dimensions of positive psychology incorporating the contexts of HRM and leadership. In addition to my academic work, I maintain a close association with industry through applied research and student industry projects. My professional leadership extends to formal committee appointments, mentoring, and peer-review activities with the triple-crown of international business school accreditation agencies, AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA.
