Andrea is a senior lecturer at the School of Property, Construction & Project Management at RMIT University. She has extensive experience in social research on housing and homelessness, but is also highly experienced in other areas of social research including public policy and urban governance, with a focus on social and economic disadvantage.
Her highly innovative conceptual and theoretical work on residential development utilises the economic theory underlying digital transformation of the economy (matching markets), and is a significant scholarly, public policy and practical contribution to improving housing affordability. The groundbreaking finance deals for Nightingale housing projects were informed by her contention that more stable matches can mitigate development settlement risk.
