She is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK and a Principal Honorary Fellow at University of Wollongong.

Her PhD was a description of the textual meta-function in Japanese which works to create linguistic coherence. This work led to&nbsp;publications into the genres of Japanese, including news, education, literature and genres in the workplace.&nbsp; In addition to text construction in Japanese, she has also co-published on appraisal resources in Japanese, English and Vietnamese.&nbsp; Most recently she has turned her descriptive interest towards the language of compassion, looking at the features of self-empathy and empathetic listening in English.

In particular she offers courses which serve to build and maintain professional relationship for Translators and Interpreters using a communication framework known as Nonviolent Communication, espoused by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg. It resides within a paradigm of feelings and needs, rather than within paradigms of right/wrong or good/bad. It is a blame-free and judgement-free form of communication which is positive, effective and conducive to building healthy relationship both in the workplace, with clients &amp; customers and family.
