I currently work at UniSA and at Flinders University as a casual academic in nursing.
I have worked as a Registered Nurse since 1982 and as a Registered Midwife and Nurse since 1986. I have specialized in Primary Health care nursing. A significant focus of my work is working cross-culturally. This has involved working in a remote region of Papua New Guinea, with Cambodian refugees in Adelaide's northern suburbs, and new arrivals in Adelaide from Burundi, Africa.
I have also worked with vulnerable population groups in Adelaide. These have included the inner city homeless sector, as well as children and families in the child protection system.
I am currently a full-time, scholarship Ph.D. student at Flinders University. The narrative inquiry research emerged from my current experience as a nurse academic teaching international nursing students. The topic seeded from my recent master of clinical education (2020) which recommended exploring the experiences of nursing students from cultural and linguistic diverse backgrounds.
