Sally has worked in Central and Northern Sydney , London and New Zealand . She has over thirty years experience as a practitioner-researcher, working in youth health, mental health, childbirth education, health service innovation and Steiner education. Sally established the Youth Arts Program at Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children in Sydney in 1984 and was occupational therapist at the Adolescent Medical Unit for thirteen years. In 1995 she joined Lynne Adamson and Claudia Walker to develop the newly established occupational therapy course at CSU .
Her writing foregrounds subjective ways of knowing in the professions and, more recently, in the student-supervisor relationship. Her Masters, supervised by Associate Professor Colleen Mullavey-O'Byrne used metaphor analysis and an auto-biographical model constructed from her early writings. Currently, Sally is a full-time Ph D candidate with the Faculty of Education at University of Technology , Sydney supervised by Associate Professor Alison Lee . Her research is an auto-ethnographic inquiry into her published body of work over two decades as occupational therapist and academic.
