My career in health care over the past 31 years began with a hospital based nursing training course at the Prince Henry Hospital in Sydney, which I later upgraded to Bachelor of Health Science (Nursing). Following this, I worked in acute care in Australia and completed further studies in renal dialysis in the UK where I worked for three years. On return to Australia I worked in Community Health in clinical and management positions before moving into aged care, where my interests and experience in management were consolidated through completion of the Master of Health Management.
I have been working as a casual academic for CSU since 1997 and joined the health service management team as a full time staff member in 2006.I have recently completed the Master in Health Science (Education) through the University of Sydney and am looking forward to commencing the Doctor of Education in 2010.
