My Story

I’m a Senior Mental Health Clinician and Educator from Melbourne, Victoria.  Currently I work part-time as a part of the Emergency Mental Health Response team in a large ED in Melbourne as well as on the Mental Health Crisis Intake Line for North West Melbourne. 

When I’m not working in either of these roles I am speaking to organiations, schools, corporate groups, and not-for-profit groups about mental health.  As well as  this I teach part time at Monash University.

Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in Emergency and Trauma nursing, Rural Nursing, Alcohol and Other Drug Counselling and Psychiatric nursing, having worked in both the public and private sectors.  I hold a Bachelor of Nursing, a Graduate Certificate in Critical Care Nursing, a Masters Degree in Mental Health Nursing and a Certificate in Plant Based Nutrition.
