Biographical details

I am a registered nurse with over 35 years experience. After completing my general nursing certificate at Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, I worked primarily in adult and paediatric intensive care. My academic interests initially followed my clinical interests and I completed a hospital-based intensive care nursing certificate at the then Prince of Wales/Prince Henry Hospitals Group in Sydney. I later undertook a Diploma in Teaching (Nursing) and a Bachelor of Education (Nursing) at Armidale College of Advanced Education (now the University of New England) and a Master of Health Administration at the University of New South Wales.


I have extensive experience in both education and management. I have worked in a variety of educational settings, including hospital-based schools of nursing, then New South Wales College of Nursing, the University of New England and the University of Sydney. I have also held a number of management positions in the public health care system ranging from Nursing Unit Manager to Executive Officer/Director of Nursing.
My academic role is primarily in the area of nursing/health services management and I teach in both undergraduate/pre-registration and postgraduate/post-registration courses.
