I'm a lecturer working at the Adelaide Business School, University of Adelaide. My research is aimed at understanding the psychological foundations of family businesses. My research covers areas such as expression of emotions in family businesses, coping in the context of family firms and understanding the influence of non-financial goals on family members' psychological wellbeing in family firms.

Some of my research interests are following: emotional labor, socioemotional wealth/non-financial goals in family businesses, emotional support, psychological capital, emotional intelligence and subjective/psychological wellbeing.
