Profile
I develop resources and research documents that aid the delivery team in their work supporting the sector.
I have a PhD in Sociology from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. In the past I have worked in the disability and non-government sectors as a practitioner, and I have worked in government. In recent years I have worked as a consultant in disability and mental health research. This practice and research experience has equipped me well for my role as a researcher with Te Pou.
Everyone has a part to play in their work at Te Pou. Personally, I love helping support people to be all that they can be – whether that be through mentoring, research or just a friendly face.
