Biography
I have worked at the University of Western Sydney in many capacities as lecturer in sociology and social science and as Course Advisor for the Bachelor of Social Science. My research interests are diverse and strongly linked to her teaching interests and community engagement activities. My research has included the social history of mental health care and mental health nursing in NSW, nurse education in Western Sydney and women and ageing. I have received five research grants (including two consultancies that involved research) and one teaching development grant which was focused on curriculum development in the area of alcohol and other drugs. I am on the Board of the Mental Health Association of NSW and a member of Alzheimers Australia, the peak body for people living with dementia.
