Brief profile

I have been in the P&O field for the past 25 years. During this time I have been lucky enough to work in Australia and in several places overseas. I spent three years as a volunteer in Cambodia in the early 90's and then returned to Australia for some time 1995-2000. Late 2000 saw me leaving again to commence about ten years in Vietnam, Thailand and LaoPDR working in P&O, disability and rehabilitation in those countries. I returned to Australia and the NCPO in the middle of July 2010.

In addition to my work at the Uni in the NCPO, I am currently most of the way through my Masters in International Development in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
