My new book “The Connected Species: How the Evolution of the Human Brain Can Save the World” is a #1 Best Seller. Mathew Green, the host of The Art of Teaching Podcast recently wrote “Mark's book was one of the best books I have ever read.” I have worked with thousands of students, teachers, health professionals, and company directors keen to understand how their brains work, how to perform optimally and maintain a healthy brain. I run programs on the neuroscience of learning, the neuroscience of emotions, how our brains create our reality, and the impact of modern technologies on our brains. I have an extensive academic background in brain research and teaching. I am a professor of cognitive neuroscience, with over 25 years experience conducting behavioral and brain imaging research focusing on our social skills and how we learn. I have received numerous awards for both my teaching and research, taught the fundamentals of neuroscience to a wide range of students, as well as published more than 70 scientific articles and worked at MIT in the USA and multiple universities in Australia. I draw on my extensive scientific background to work with schools, companies and the public to develop evidence-based practices using neuroscience to enhance our education, work and personal lives. My work has been highlighted in the media both locally [e.g., The Project, Mirror Mirror (Channel Ten), Our Brain, Magic and the Brain, Music and the Brain, Making Australia Happy (ABC), Sunrise (Channel 7), Screen Time is Affecting Learning (SkyNews)] and internationally [e.g., The Guardian (UK), New York Times (USA), Economist, New Scientist, Leading Edge, (BBC: UK), Science in Action (BBC; International)].

I began my career as a self-taught developer, overcoming homelessness and the absence of formal education through the discovery of coding. As I delved deeper into technology, I found my passion in cybersecurity and entrepreneurship, particularly focusing on Identity & Access Management and STEM education for young learners. Today, I remain dedicated to enhancing security and privacy in our increasingly digital world. As a mother of two, I balance my role at Microsoft with international speaking engagements and workshops covering a range of topics, including cybersecurity best practices, entrepreneurship in the digital age, strategies for Identity & Access Management, and the importance of STEM education for future generations. My aim is to inspire others with the message that one's background does not determine their potential. In 2016, I founded "We Lead Digital" to empower individuals to seize digital opportunities and forge their own paths to success.
