- Academic, Deakin University
I am a legal researcher and academic, and a legal and social policy professional with experience in a wide range of areas, including: family violence and vulnerable children, justice, multicultural and Aboriginal affairs and health. I was two-time national finalist for Academic of the Year in 2018 and again in 2019 and was also a recipient of Deakin University's 2018 Vice Chancellor’s Award through Innovation that spans the Experience Promise for my role as unit chair for Legal Internship.
I have a strong passion for social justice, legal research and affecting just outcomes within the community.
