My prior role as a casual academic at the University of South Australia Business School has significantly enhanced and diversified my academic portfolio. My scholarly pursuits are extensive and multifaceted.

My three-year tenure in prominent leadership positions in Chinese Australian media marketing and public relations in Australia has had a profound influence on my current approach as an academic and business consultant.
