Her academic background is diverse, encompassing a PhD in Accounting from UWA awarded in 2015, which investigated the spread of environmental sustainability practices in business networks across the Western Australian agrifood sector; a research Master’s degree in Supply Chain Management from the University of Cape Town in 2010 on supplier development practices in the South African motor industry; a first-class Honours degree in Economics from UCT in 1995; a BCom Accounting conversion course; PGDA; BCom; and B.Econ.Sci from WITS.
