I bring over 22 years of experience across direct practice, program management, program implementation, and academia to supervision. I graduated from the University of Queensland with Honours in Psychology in 2001 and the Master of Social Work (Qualifying) from QUT in 2019.

I began my career as a research assistant on a project investigating the intersection of child protection and mental health. I also worked as a counsellor for children and young people, a youth worker, a therapeutic case manager, and a program coordinator. My experience spans working in the areas of statutory Child Protection, Education, Corrections, alcohol and drugs (AOD), domestic family and sexual violence, mental health, community development, and homelessness. I have worked in both NGOs and government agencies.

Currently, I work as a social work supervisor for students on placement and am experienced in providing group and individual supervision to students. I also work in youth engagement to ensure that young people’s voices inform services. These roles reflect my passion for supervision while maintaining my connection to local services that keep my knowledge of practice current.

I am a current member of the AASW.
