Bachelor of Arts (Sociology / Anthropology)

Master of Social Work (Professional Qualifying)

Master of Indigenous Business Leadership (completing)

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist & Theraplay Practitioner. I am also a mum to my ten year old daughter, which is my greatest and proudest role so far.

In 2025 I was named the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander of the Year.

I am deeply passionate about Social Work practice because I understand the significant impact of social, economic, and political factors on the health and well-being of our children, families, and communities. My current practice framework is centred on strengths-based and solution-focused approaches guided by anti-oppressive and trauma-informed theoretical perspectives. I am dedicated to my profession and actively participate in the Australian Association of Social Workers and the Play Therapy Practitioners Association.
