I have worked as a registered nurse since 1988 in several Australian and Irish hospitals in surgical, medical and emergency departments, including 10 years in community health as a clinical nurse specialist with particular interest in wound management. During that time I volunteered in Papua New Guinea (12 months) conducting HIV/AIDs education and Kosovo (4 months) for returning refugee accommodation. I developed an interest in adult education while teaching health education classes (respiratory rehabilitation, arthritis management) and this ultimately led to teaching undergraduate nurses. I have worked as a unit coordinator and lecturer in a Bachelor of Nursing program for the past six years for units such as Community Health Nursing, Clinical Practice, Ethics, and Primary Health Care. She joined Sydney Nursing School in 2013.
