BIO
1. I am the VC Senior Indigenous Research Fellow with the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS). My current role extends on a thirty-year career in Australian Federal and State governments, in the fields of Education (Aboriginal & History) undergraduate, Employment and Training, and as a Small Business Owner. I have worked within a variety of Educational and TAFE roles in policy development, Ministerial advice on Aboriginal Education, Social Justice, Employment, Housing, Youth Services and Marine Science research. I have a strong history of working across inward facing and outward facing functions. Internally, I actively work with colleagues, educators and staff to embed Cultural ecological knowledges, competencies and respect into everyday work practices, including teaching and curricula. I also have a strong track record of external impact, influencing and informing legislation and policy development from local, state, Federal and International perspectives.
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated researcher with a resilient and expediated trajectory, leading collaborative, co-designed, co-developed, Culturally focused research. I have developed concrete pathways for cross-cultural research for UOW, the academy and both the Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal communities. I have demonstrated skills and expertise in research and governance, and specific teaching responsibilities.
