Annette Dunham originally trained as an Occupational Therapist in New Zealand. She worked for several years as a registered Occupational Therapist before accepting a role as a consultant to management and staff of rest and residential homes for the aged.  This fueled her interest in training and development and led her to return to tertiary study, focusing on Organisational Psychology.  Annette completed her BA in Psychology, M.Sc. with First Class Honours in Applied Psychology (Industrial and Organisational), and PhD in Psychology at the University of Canterbury.  She was the recipient of a New Zealand Tertiary Education Commission Top Achiever Doctoral Scholarship.

Annette has lectured in organisational psychology at Massey University and at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and has consulted with various individuals and groups on career and related development issues. Her PhD thesis involved several studies that focused on organisational memory and mentoring, including the development of a self-report organisational memory scale.  She has a strong interest in career and professional development, mentoring and developmental relationships, knowledge sharing within networks and organisations, and issues relating to the ageing of the workforce.
