There is no conflict of interest between the author (myself) and the subject.

Ravelli grew up and attended school in Parkes, New South Wales.[3]

Ravelli completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Linguistics at the University of Sydney, Australia in 1985, followed by a Master of Philosophy in 1987 at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom.[1] In 1991 she completed her PhD, also at the University of Birmingham, supervised by Michael Hoey.[3] She then held at position at the University of Wollongong, Australia for six years, before moving to the University of New South Wales (UNSW). At UNSW, Ravelli initially worked in the Department of Linguistics, before moving to the Department of Media in 2007.[3]

She also contributed to early research on grammatical metaphor, for example her 1988 book chapter, Grammatical metaphor: An initial analysis in the book Pragmatics, Discourse and Text: Some systemically-inspired approaches.

Her work on academic writing includes research conducted as part of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project Grant titled Writing in the Academy: The practice-based thesis as an evolving genre, (2008-2012, with Brian Paltridge and Sue Starfield).[10]
