Bio
I am based in Sydney from where I arrange and supervise social work practicums. Prior to joining CSU I spent thirty-eight years in the NSW Public Service in the fields of health and welfare. I have particular interests in out-of-home-care, legislation as a casework tool, indigenous self-determination and management. I am a graduate of CSU, graduating in social work in 1998. I completed my PhD in 2005, researching the understanding social workers have of social justice.
