I have been at Massey since 1994 when I began as a first year student studying Applied Economics. I was a Graduate Assistant in 1998, an Assistant Lecturer from 1999-2001 and have been a Senior Lecturer since 2015. I have taught several courses in Economics throughout my career. I have been fortunate to receive a number of Massey teaching awards throughout my career.

I have presented research at several Australasian conferences, including TERNZ, HERDSA, SMAANZ and NZAE Annual Conferences.

Between 2019 and 2021 I was co-Director of the Bachelor of Business (BBus). 

I am presently coordinating and teaching 115.113 Economics of Business, 178.250 Contemporary Economic Issues, and 178.239 Sport Economics. I also teach the Manawatu Internal offering of 178.280 Regression and Predictive Analysis.

Research Expertise

Research Interests

My research interests are mainly in the economics of sport. My PhD in Economics examined the justification for public spending on sports events and stadiums in New Zealand. I was also involved in the Teaching and Learning Research Initiative (TLRI) national research project 'Unlocking Student Learning' from 2006-2008, which involved the development of learning enhancement initiatives in large first year university papers. I have also worked as part of a team on the role of rugby as a sustainable livelihood option in Fiji and the estimation and contribution of sports generated remittances in the South Pacific.
