BIO
The underlying theme of my research is careers and discrimination (gender and race) and my work helps identify the crafting strategies used by trailblazers to achieve success in challenging circumstances, which could be useful for the present and future generations. I use life stories to explore career journeys. I use qualitative approaches and Nvivo software for the thematic analysis.
I developed a career crafting matrix in my doctoral research to examine how accounting professionals in Aotearoa New Zealand make career decisions in the context of organisational and gendered constraints. Keen to test the matrix in the historical context, I co-authored a paper exploring the struggle for entry and career success of the early pioneer women accountants over a century ago in Great Britain and its former colonies USA, Canada, Australia and Aotearoa NZ.
I am also interested in investigating indigenous peoples and career progression and have examined the experience of the first Black woman accountant in South Africa and the first Māori accountant, Sir HK Ngata in Aotearoa NZ. Current projects include an investigation of the causes and remedies for the underrepresentation of Māori accountants in Aotearoa NZ. Recently, I have developed a strong interest in global mobility, gender, and the intersections between work, family, migration, and possible selves.
