Biographical details
I am a registered nurse with over 10 years of experience in critical care and emergency nursing. I hold a Bachelor of Health Science from the Auckland University of Technology and a Master of Health Services Management from the University of Technology Sydney. I am currently completing doctoral studies. I have a developing research portfolio and have managed international collaborative research into the quality and safety of health care services. The outcomes of this research have been used to inform legislation and policy in Australia and Europe.
In 2011 I undertook the position of the director of education at a tertiary level teaching hospital in the Middle East; in 2013 I returned to Australia to further my research interests in the fields of primary health care nursing and workforce policy.
