BIO
As a graduate researcher at Deakin University, my research is dedicated to evaluating the social value of inclusively procured major road projects in Australia. My expertise spans contract administration, procurement, and quantification and measurement, reflecting the specialisation in construction management and quantity surveying. Merging insights from academia and industry, my mission is to shed light on how inclusive procurement practices enrich the social fabric of infrastructure projects. Driven by a passion for effecting change in construction and project management, I am committed to pioneering innovative research and actionable solutions in the realm of social procurement.
