Prior to commencing academic employment at La Trobe University I undertook a broad range of Speech Pathology clinical work in rural practice, day hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and acute hospitals. I was the Senior Speech Pathologist at Bundoora Extended Care Centre and founded that department in 1983.

I joined La Trobe University in 1987. I have considerable experience in lecturing and curriculum design, with a strong background in communication disorders of neurological origin and clinical education. I am currently coordinating the design and implementation of the revised Bachelor of Speech Pathology, which utilises problem-based learning in the academic subjects offered by the School of Human Communication Sciences. Further, I lecture in the Master of Speech Pathology graduate-entry programme and coordinate its research stream.
