I am an Endorsed Clinical Psychologist and a Fellow of the Clinical College. I worked in the field of Intellectual Disability within the NSW Public Service in Sydney, on the NSW Central Coast and in Newcastle for four decades. I continued working in this field for three years within an NGO in Newcastle for four years prior to retiring in 2020. I now work within a voluntary capacity as a telephone crisis supporter at Lifeline. I have been a member of the Newcastle Branch of the APS since 2009, and I joined the committee in 2017. I have been the Treasurer of Newcastle Branch for the last three years.

I have been working in the child protection sector for over 20 years in the casework space, and am currently studying the MPP to become a clinician.

It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I am able to serve as a committee member for the Newcastle Branch.
I am currently studying the Graduate Diploma of Psychology (Advanced) with Swinburne University of Technology and hope to complete my fourth year of study in the next 18 months.
I enjoy keeping active, networking and believe in continued learning. To keep busy and give back to society, I work full-time, volunteer with St Vincent de Paul and as a Crisis Supporter with Lifeline.
I hope that as a committee member, I can promote the fantastic Psychologists in the Newcastle area, encourage networking and continued learning.
I hope to see you at an event soon.
