Research / Scholarly interests

My research takes an interdisciplinary approach to marketing and management designed to generate impactful contributions to digital transformations and innovations, accessibility, inclusivity, and sustainability. My track record of publications aligns to three core research streams: (1) implications of extended reality systems, (2) the concept of presence and emotions, and (3) digital innovations in marketing.

Additionally, my research integrates theoretical contributions and methodological innovations to bring benefits to both researchers and industry. Key highlights include contributing to the Queensland Government’s 2019 Queensland Tourism Digital Workforce Development Plan consultancy project, Destination Gold Coast’s 2022 Digital Empowerment Program, and being engaged to present masterclasses on Augmented and Virtual Reality for Destination Queensland’s 2018 Tourism Masterclass series for tourism and hospitality enterprises.

I also currently serve as Associate Editor for the Tourism Management Perspectives (Q1) journal.
