The programs within the College of Business and Economics are filled with knowledgeable, accomplished academics who are also nice people.

My main research interests are in organizational identity and reputation and their implications for organizational strategies, sustainability and CSR. My research projects include sustainability and certifications in the Australian wine industry and social enterprise in Tanzania.
