Senior Lecturer — Queensland University of Technology

“Since graduating from Mizzou, I moved to Brisbane, Australia, to take up a job opportunity as a teaching and research academic at the Queensland University of Technology; today, I am one of the top 10 most highly cited researchers in Australia within the areas of media, news, and journalism. My international profile led to me being named in 2021 as a ‘leading researcher’ in the field of journalistic innovation, and I have played an outsized role in ensuring digital media, which are visual media, are appropriately studied, understood, and navigated in personal and public life."
