BIO

Welcome to my research profile! As a Library Partner at Deakin University, I move in that fluid space between education, research, enterprise and Library practice. Despite occasional tech fails and the complex debates surrounding digital inequalities, my passion for technology as an enabler is still shining. My professional journey has been rooted in exploring the intersection of digital capabilities, literacies, and capacity building, fuelling my current research into digital fluency and associated capabilities or literacies.
