I'm a law school academic, with a track record of leadership/governance at the university level.In my academic work I'm interested in the legal questions that define our democracy, and the interface between law, politics, and government: constitutional law and human rights law. In particular, I work on Australian constitutional fundamentals and on ECHR human rights law. I regularly write and speak in the media and in the general community on a variety of public law issues, have done consultant and pro bono research work on related issues for a number of NGOs, and previously worked as a solicitor. I also have a track record of university leadership and governance, especially on scholarships and philanthropy. As Head of Scholars House for the ANU's Tuckwell Scholarship Program (2019-2024), reporting to the DVCA, I led a diverse team of academic and professional staff overseeing Australia's most transformational undergraduate scholarship program. For this work I was awarded the Chancellor's Award for Distinguished Contribution to the University (2023). I currently hold smaller roles with the Rhodes Scholarships and the Lionel Murphy Scholarships. Previously I was ANU Law's Director (2017-2019) of Higher Degree Research (ie Associate Dean HDR). I completed the AICD Company Directors Course in 2024. I work part-time (80%) to reflect my parenting responsibilities.

Listed skills include European Human Rights Law, Fair Trial Rights, Public Law, Constitutional Law, and 10 others.
