Biographical details
I am a registered nurse with 20 years experience in clinical, acute, and community settings. My clinical specialties are in orthopaedic nursing, surgical nursing, early discharge planning and community based care. More recently I have taught nursing courses at undergraduate and postgraduate entry level in a variety of Australian education facilities. I was employed at the College of Nursing, combining nursing experience and tertiary qualifications to work as a nurse educator, fostering my interest in nursing education and professional development.
During this time, I was responsible for the coordination of graduate certificate nursing courses in collaboration with private and public health facilities, ensuring the management of students through their academic journey in a postgraduate milieu and maintaining professional relationships with hospital management education departments.
Currently, I am planning to commence a doctoral research program focusing on workforce planning and retention strategies. I have completed a Graduate Certificate in Orthopaedic Nursing from the College of Nursing, a Bachelor of Nursing (Conversion) from the University of Sydney, a Master of Nursing from the University of Sydney and a Master of Public Health from the University of NSW.
